Classroom of the future

Salam, hello, so the video above is actually Microsoft's vision of the technologies of the future and how they are going to affect our daily life. If you haven't watch the video, watch it first! Then you may continue to read, thank you. Basically this is a concept video of the technologies which hopefully will materialise in the near future. In a way, a little part of the technologies shown in the video are already accessible by the masses like the multitouch interface which is present in tablets nowadays like the iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab and many other tablets.While for some of the other technologies, they does seem quite far-fetched, still the whole concept is quite intriguing.

My favourite bit of the video would obviously be the part where the children are interacting with students from different part of the world, communicating in different language. Yet the advance of technology shown in the video potrays the capability of the technology to translate spoken words in realtime thus enabling students speaking different language to communicate. Another interesting thing shown in the video is the interactiveness of the technologies with the user. If that is how the future classroom is going to be, global and interactive, i wouldnt mind going back to school again.

Presently, all of this does seem quite faraway, but when it does happen, I think it will be really beneficial to whoever that uses it. Here hoping all of this would be possible much sooner, -ALF-
