Vision into the future

Most of the stuff at Communic Asia went over my head. Too many gadgets to fiddle with, pray, who has the time? Fortunately all my time there was not wasted, by the presence of this creative 11 minutes video clip screened at the Docomo booth on what they envision life in the future to be like.

Using four musicians in a concert as the main characters, the video shows personal stories of each musician with different themes; glimpses into relationships between young loves, mother and child, elderly parents in family, father and daughter. We see how mobile technology is integrated into their lives. My jaw dropped when given the insight of perhaps radio frequency (rfid?) technology employed in schools; the reader at the school gate beeps as children run out of the schools, thus informing the school about which student has left school for the day or..er, play truant. hmmm..

The clip is just way cool. To be able to pack all these many interesting stories and ideas into 11 minutes..oh, so brilliant!
