Just a hint: there's two letters in IO - Input and Output.
If I imagine a complex animated 3D shape in my head, I have like really no easy way to "pull it out" and share it to anyone else. Besides spending up to ~1 week sketching/drawing it in either Autocad or Blender/Maya. The out part is the problem, this is where we have a bottleneck.
> iPad [...] it’s capable of beaming far more of all three to you than it does. And it’s capable of taking in far more input than you generally use. It can do 10 finger multitouch, plus sound recording. Newer devices will have full body tracking
Really? You think tapping a screen or moving our bodies is a good way to output data?! There's already a huuuuuuuuuge botlenect between my body and my brain. I don't want to force my interaction with a computing device to go through this bottleneck too. Fuck my slow ass annoyingly useless body, I want something that can read with at least a few megapixels per second from the part of my brain that's doing the visual thinking.
Even language is a huuuuge ass bottleneck. If you're someone thinking visually like me, you sometimes just give up sharing an idea when you're like "man, I'd need to write a 500 page novel to put it into words".
I wish Elon the best luck in the work developing any kind of interface that could help us bypass either the "language bottleneck" or even better, the "body bottleneck" (because language is still about using part of your body - the vocal cords). I'm passionate about UI/X design myself, but I've never taken it professionally because I find it pointless: only real way to improve an interface is to (1) improve the "business-logic data model" and (2) increase bandwith by nuking the entire interface away and letting people interact with the "core data" itself. This is what Git and Emacs org-mode have at their core: the result is amazing UX, horrible UI and "just kill yourself"-hard learning curves... but if I can get the first one, I can put up with the second two until I can afford to hire an army of UI and learnability experts later. Excell/spreasheets are another such exemples of letting people "touch the data" and forgetting about anything else.
