For my "anything technology related" post I thought I would talk about Microsoft Surface. Just released by Microsoft and only available to select businesses such as casinos, Surface is a touch screen computer that sort of looks like a glass coffee table. The picture here shows photo organizer on Microsoft Surface. You can physically manipulate digital photos on Surface by dragging, dropping, and resizing with your fingertips. Pretty cool!
This sort of technology could revolutionize both back-office productivity and front-line customer service in libraries -- particularly self-service for patrons. Too bad it is not on the consumer market yet.
