Microsoft's table computer

When I began to watch this video clip of Microsoft's Table Top Computer, I was amazed by it's capabilities as well as shocked that they will be in bars and restaurants by November. Microsoft says they will have home units available by 2010 and by no means will they be cheap. I found this touch sensitive table top computer fascinating for quite a few reasons.
- it is interactive, touch sensitive
- visually stimulating and captivating
- simplifies and speeds up a wide range of everyday tasks (i.e. ordering food, downloading photos, creating art, etc.)
Where I see this table top computer benefiting people the most is in the restaurant industry. Imagine not having to wait for your server because he is too busy to take your order or bring you your check. This touch interactive table top computer will allow you look at a menu and drag the desired entrees into the ordering section. Paying for your meal will be even faster since all you have to do is place your credit card on the table top and it instantly runs your card. The same goes for when you want to download photos from your digital camera, just place it on the table top and it automatically does it for you. Technology is ever evolving and simplifying the needs of humans.
