Another Day With My PC

Have you ever wondered what the OS of the future would look like? Vista was formerly touted as the operating system that would define and dictate the others that would come after it. However, many were disappointed to find out that most of its supposed new features are actually just rehashes of XP.

Everybody’s dream OS should not only be able to run PCs. As every human activity will soon be controlled or supervised by computers, the next version of Windows or OS X should be able to answer or screen phone calls, regulate the heater in the living room, and of course, operate the microwave.

The commercials that we see where everything is automated are not virtual realities anymore. They’re already here. You could operate or set almost anything in just a push of a button. However, we still don’t have that universal remote control which could integrate and harmonize every electronic gadget in our home. I hope Apple and Microsoft would consider extending the reaches of their future operating systems to devices other than the PC, for after all, most of the devices that we have are actually PCs in disguise.
