Missing Steve Jobs !! - My First thought after watching "Microsoft Holographics "

Once in a while you can feel that "Eye–Popping , Mind-Boggling" moment on seeing an incredible phenomenon (I would rather consider it as a phenomenon rather than a product). I felt that while watching Microsoft's Holographic promos. I believe that the product is really really "REVOLUTIONARY" and will literally open the gates for innovators to new dimension. But wait, did you notice the way it is introduced, rather shown to us. Disappointing is one of the words I use very selectively, I am sure I can use here. What I see is the greatest thing of the century in the hands off a tasteless nerd. Let me take you to the future to foresee what what might happen

  • People might get bogged down by the geekiness, and in-turn people might try to use it at the bare minimum. Rather forcefully to some extent.
  • "It will not be for all" meaning- it will be still like one of those x86 motherboards where you need some basic knowledge to use it
  • It looks user friendly, but I am damn sure it will not be, to the extent of wide acceptance.

Considering the above, the first thing came across my mind is "What will Apple do, if they have this idea?”. To be precise “What will Steve Jobs do, if he got this idea?”

  • First things first ;-) he will give lot more sleepless nights to his team
  • Unbelievable, stylish and highly user-friendly product
  • Earth breaking "Introduction" , where literally every connected soul might have seen it.

Last but not the least; he will make sure the product is sensible that will be used by variety of people. Obviously it will induce many more copycats, but hey the thing is here to stay.
One more thing, the product will be there for innovators to innovate for the rest of the century. But “how fast” and “how big” varies on how it is un-wrapped to the masses
