The potential for this new computer is amazing. AT&T gets first stab at this new technology in America with kiosks that allow visitors to place a phone on the surface of the Surface and then drag with their fingers music, ringtones, and other files directly into the phone. How it works, I can’t even begin to imagine but it looks like this little extravagance will be making waves real soon in all sorts of establishments if it can do half of what it promises.

Into the future, imagine having a couple Surface computers in your lobby where first time guests could come and with the touch of their finger, check in kids, print maps of the campus, read important information, or gather any other number of things on an easy to use table top interface. Forget about seeing these as TV tables in up and coming sports bars or finding them in shopping malls to help customize outfits and then give directions to the stores where the items can be located, could something like this be used in the modern church?
