I know there have been many discussions about speech interfaces here lately, but I really think it's going to be as transformative as the touch screen in that it removes abstraction between the users intent and the means to input it. Speech is very natural to us and as soon as the AI become more contextual it will be truly powerful in our every day lives. I can of course only speak from personal experience but it completely changed the way we access various services in our family and allow us to be together while using Google home as a fifth member of the family. Making it open source is great but I do believe the hardware needs to be much more polished to compete with Amazon and Google.
