Time: Can a smartphone satisfy all of your computing needs? That was the pitch Microsoft made during its Build developer’s conference on Tuesday, and it’s not so far-fetched as it sounds.Close, but the essential computing interface will be the smart card 'function' and the distributed network of Banker Bots. The SmartPhone will just be a location where SmartCard may reside.
On stage at the event, Microsoft Corporate Vice President Joe Belfiore plugged a Windows phone into a large screen display. On the small screen, he opened a mobile version of a PowerPoint presentation, but on the large screen, that same presentation was transformed. Menu options that would normally appear in the desktop version of PowerPoint suddenly appeared at the top of the screen. The “universal app” detected the display’s expansive canvas and packed it with new features. In essence, the app ran two independent displays from one device.
Distributed Banker Bots are the Singularity.
They constantly know, better than any other source, the distribution of goods. The consumerl will always have the best information about where she can find the items she wants. All of the consumer computations will be driven by that interface, including SmartPhone functions. Most of the time the user can leave the tablet at home and take off for short trips with nothing more than a $20 dollar smart card.
