Virtual and augmented reality seem like the endgame for what phones do for us now. Instead of a computer on every desk, or every pocket, it's one in every eye.

I'd rather follow a set of virtual arrows to my destination than have to keep checking my phone. This goes for a lot of tasks I use my phone for. Though the privacy concerns are more worrisome than mobile phones!

The smartphone is the perfect "unit of computing" as it is; we will get better interfaces, but the mobile revolution has already happened. Augmented won't be as transformative as smartphones have been.
