Future Vision… I don't know how many of you have already come across these videos made by Microsoft. But if you've never seen one before, it's time you did. You will witness scenarios of absolute convergence. Where the environment around us becomes the theater of interaction with people and information. Wherever you are. You will interact using your hands, eyes, mind and a single device. YOUR smartphone which in the meantime will have become increasingly touch-sensitive, sensitive, ergonomic, powerful and personal. It will replace all the paper we carry with us today. From business cards to memos. From the credit card to our identification card.

As in this case: “which bank?!”. Pay with one click. Don't queue. Eliminate pleasantries. Collect data in real time. We will not see papers, mimeograph machines and bank statements meters long of trees. Everything around us will interact to provide us with information and make our experiences of using the services simpler and more complete. Maybe, finally someone will start thinking about the user. To the value of time. To the importance of serenity. To improve the quality of life by building a more usable world around us. To allow us to finally focus on quality and substance. We will leave the form to build a planet, a thinking society and not just a user and used one.

Take a tour of the bank of the future with this video and then tomorrow morning pop into the branch "near your home". Go back to YouTube and ask yourself “why not!”. I'll be in my early forties and I can't wait.
