Here’s a neat little video from Microsoft that focuses on their vision of technology in 2019. There’s a lot of bright colors and pretty, interactive display technology and ubiquitous gadgets.

I really like the “digital wallet” concept. With all the individual pieces of plastic that we carry around all the time in the form of ID cards (ID, driver’s license, medical insurance, etc) and credit/debit cards it would be great to have a single “device” the size of just one card or just a little bigger that would hold all of this data. For me, the security concerns are the top priority, but if I lose my wallet today, I am losing all that plain-text data anyway. The digital device could use both encryption and passwords or some other form of access control to restrict usage of my lost digital wallet. Okay, I’ve decided – I want one! Who’s going to develop this?

Let me know what you think!
