IBM looks five years into the future. It comes across as both impressive and extremely annoying.

1. The idea that data gleaned from portable devices will be used responsibly overlooks the fact that "scientists" like John Holdren will be the ones using it to further their political/social agendas.
2. A holographic "person" walking next to me? I'd rather use it as a decoy to go down a dark alley first.
3. Batteries drawing power from the air? Sounds to me like someone should read the Second Law of Thermodynamics. And absorb it, this time.
4. The car computer telling you to take an alternate route sounds great- until you consider how many other cars the system is telling to take the same short cut at the same time.
Annoying? Yes. Mainly because they seem to think they can ignore Murphy's Law. It never works.

It's nice that Lou Rawls came back from the dead to do the voice over.
The future. Brought you by the same people who brought you PC-DOS, OS/2 and Tivoli.
