Surface HQ

This is what Microsoft Surface should have invested in – Kitchen appliances. Although probably never even thought of by the Surface team back at Microsoft, I think that a Microsoft Surface kitchen counter would be great.

There wouldn’t take that much to make one. Just take the original, make it a little wider, taller, and put it in a kitchen with a spill proof cover. Here are reasons why there should be a Microsoft Surface Counter top.

1. Restaurants could use it at bars: Now THAT would be sweet. I mean, ya, there is already that restaurant app that recognizes the glass and gives information about the drink, but is it really going to be used that much if it is just a table? Bring that to the bar and hell ya it will be used! It would be hard not to. Plus, when you’re drunk, those bubbles shooting off will be lots of fun..

2. Stay busy while eating: I don’t know about you, but whenever I’m eating I always feel like I should be multi-tasking. Like reading the paper or watching television. Well if you have a humongous touch screen computer underneath your bowl (which, by the way, would probably interact using object recognition somehow) you have something to do. Read the paper online, and avoid the trouble of it being so huge and in the way. Or check your email.

3. More apps could be made: A whole new array of apps could be made for this new environment, but I’ll leave that for another post.

4. Help declutter/keep clean: I don’t know about you, but I hate messy counters. Especially when I’m trying to cook. But I’m sure that if I had a Microsoft Surface counter top in my kitchen than it wouldn’t be so messy!

I’m excited to write to write that article for #3, I’m sure there will be lots of apps on that list.
