5. the future
is not so different

6. where are we today (mostly)?
Mostly device specific
Mostly back office system specific
Keyboard & Mouse oriented UI
Not touch optimised
Word and 2D drawing oriented
Lacking in rich media
Mimicking paper procedures
Mostly unimaginative design
Mostly legacy backend
Lacking offline capability
Entirely 2D screen based
