Bill Gates last day at work.
On his last day at Microsoft, Victoria Barret (Forbes.com) takes a look at his predictions that he made in his book "The Road Ahead" in 1995.
The following one is on GIS: (CTV.ca)
Even at the 10th anniversary of The Road Ahead, one of his predictions sounded far from reality, like a yet-to-be-seen, trippy version of Mapquest: "You'll be able to jump into a map so you can navigate down a street or through the rooms of a building." Today, both Microsoft and Google offer street-view map systems, though neither will fly you through buildings.
EveryScape does have a solution - where you can move from street to inside building views. The views and the viewer are modeled similar to Google's Street View. (Take a tour of the Harvard Natural History Museum - link)
