Until a technological limit is broken through that opens up new possibilities. If I imagine the perfect device, it wouldn't even be a physical tablet shaped device I need to hold in my hand. Better voice recognition and understanding of natural language commands and some breakthrough in display tech that doesn't require a glass screen could change the game. Yes, the current form of phones is near optimal, but it's a local optimum, and someone will jump out of it and eat Apples lunch at some point.
- tjchear 6y agoI'm quite fond of the telepathic mode of communication shown in Ghost in the Shell. Between now and mass adoption of Neuralink (if it happens...), I imagine there'd be a neck-worn device that can read off the neural signals going to our throat and allows us to operate devices/communicate through subvocalization [0].
