My favorite thing about this future-forward view into the next 5-10 years according to Microsoft is the technology to accomplish the vision is already available (but just awaiting for costs to drop and execution to be refined): large touch displays, voice control, bump to transfer data, device to device networking, object identification by camera.

As someone who was battling and losing to the effects of cross-country travel recently, the idea of jumping into the shower and cleaning off the bothersome lethargy of jetlag sounds like a dream come true...
