The UX of Productivity in the Future
Oct 27th, 2011
By now you have seen the video released recently from Microsoft about productivity in the future. It highlights a bunch of interesting uses of technology that largely exists today in some form or another mixed with a bunch of smoke and mirrors for things that may be technically near impossible to implement depending on how you interpret the video. It’s a great exploration in to the art of interaction design as it relates to how we could potentially interact with information and the world around us, but there is something the video doesn’t cover…
I don’t think the problems of tomorrow will be about being able to get useful information, it will be finding value and meaning in it. If this sounds familiar to you it should, I have said it countless times before. This is precisely the kind of problem that needs to be solved by user experience professionals, specifically in the content strategy and information architecture disciplines.
