Bill Gates delivers the keynote address at the 2007 CES. There are some amazing advances in the realm of digital interconnectivity: cell phones, PDAs, computers, gaming systems, the Internet and even common household appliances sync and interact seamlessly. I particularly like the last part of the video where he shows a ‘digital bedroom,’ in which the walls are digital displays that can be customized to your liking. As Gates demonstrates, a teen might like to display posters from his favorite band, or sync to his XBox360 and play games. Personally, I can envision my future library with scenes of endless dusty bookshelves (to get me in the studying mood) or breezy park scenes (for relaxing reading), etc.
