Surface again provide a totally different medium for us. The horizontal panel, which we will find in bars, casinos or at home, reacts to our fingers. We put our mobile phone on the panel and our pictures appear automatically. We select, enlarge and reduce our pictures, we listen to music and we play games with each other, like poker. You can see it in Microsoft's demo. And this is not the end yet. Now we drag pictures to our mobile phone, in the future we will drag videos to our TV, and the TV will react to us. Or we will have a smaller version of this panel, replacing the remote control. We will be able to page all brands on this type of displays, using speech. The brand agents then will appear in their own world, seen from above if we like. We will experience brands in a totally different way. This is a small step in that direction.
