The day my mother can log on and do what she wants without instruction will be the next generation of the internet. We're nowhere close to that today. I want Star Trek for Baby Boomer moms : "Computer: send email to Gladys." "Computer: turn the channel to Polyanna" "Computer: calculate 2011 taxes paid to date and print results on the den" "Computer: show me favorite restaurant list with realtime estimated wait. Make reservation for two at 8:10. Charge bill to home account:" I want "the internet" to be that simple. I want it to stop being called "the internet". I want it to be so ubiquitous that it's just the way you get things done. Not just a way to do things. When it finally is, we'll watch the world kick into a future we've been wastefully squirreling away in fantasy novels. *Oh, and forced audio on any webpage for any damned reason whatever is more inappropriate than farting at the dinner table.
