Microsoft's new video, Productivity Future Vision, shows what might seem to be a bold look at what technology will look like in the future. Practically every flat surface in the home is an active led screen that can show and store information. Communication happens seamlessly without the users even thinking about how it works. But don't start thinking that it's all just prototype gadgets that will likely never exist in your lifetime.

Remember the old "You Will." ad campaign from AT&T back in 1993 and 1994? They were pitching a lot of technology that did not yet exist, but now we use without ever giving it a second though. We even sometimes poke fun at people still struggling to use the same gadgets and technologies that looked futuristic less than twenty years ago.
