EVERYTHING TO BECOME SMALLER AND MORE EXPENSIVE, SAYS GATES

[Basil Chupin]

IN five years time everything you buy will be much smaller and cost a 
great deal more money, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates has confirmed.

Gates said consumers were furious about the size of their electronic 
devices and that he had received hundreds of death threats from people 
unable to put all of their possessions in one very small drawer.

Speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Gates said: 
"People are leading smaller lives. They are having smaller experiences 
and thinking smaller thoughts.

"Against the backdrop of this context, we must be constantly evolving 
our user interface technologies, or 'things'."

Highlights at the show include a holographic chess game featuring the 
stars of/ Grey's Anatomy/, a 50ft hight plasma screen TV that is 
programmed to kill, and a Japanese man who has replaced all of his teeth 
with tiny iPods......
