"Expect the way you interact with your laptop, tablet, and smartphone to change a lot in the next five to 10 years."
I am going to bet the opposite; we will interact with laptop, phones and tablets roughly in the same way as we do now in ten years. Voice control, thought control and VR headsets will be mostly a dud for anything beyond games and novelty.

- imtringued 9y agoTablets and smartphones are a new device class which increased the amount of human-computer interaction. You're implying we also mostly use touch screens on previously existing platforms like desktops, laptops, gaming consoles and TVs. Those platforms haven't changed their primary input method to touch.

- chvid 9y agoI don't think "we" did. And also I would argue that going to touch from say a mouse or lightpen (which I think predates mouse-based interfaces) is essentially an incremental improvement on the same kind of user interface compared going to things suggested in this article (voice control, thought control).
