What I meant was that the trend would be more towards minimalism and simple metaphors rather than 3D realism. I don't say that highly visual interfaces don't have their place. I would say the difference is like the difference between a the UI of a book (minimum visual representation) v/s a movie (highest visual representation). If I have to take an honest pick, and I believe I can be wrong, is that most user interfaces will have more abstraction than specific representation.
