I actually love a good "future vision" ad. They're often pretty inspiring. One of my favorites is Corning's "A Day Made of Glass": ▶ this video
When I think of a World of Glass I always go back to Corning's A Day Made of Glass ▶ this video which has far more every day examples we can all believe in
I'm looking at Corning's Day of Glass video ▶ this video and once again, I'm being reminded of Apple's biggest weakness. There's no cross-platform functionality and that's going to be Apple's biggest problem within a decade. Any idea how Apple might handle a dilemma like that ?
