You fail to address the point of how much control people are comfortable with giving away. Some lights are fine if they're fully automated (fridge). But for others people want to have some control (e.g., reading the bedroom, looking to see if there's a mosquito etc). So no, there appears to be a limit of how much UI you can take away.
- ThomPete 14y agoTo be honest I dont understand what you disagree with in what I wrote. My point is that how comfortable people are will change over time or depending on their situation. I might use an ipad for reading instead and thus for me and million of other people that problem is not really there and you have a market. The only way I can understand your comment is if you don't believe systems can become better over time. I do.
- andreasvc 14y agoI didn't disagree with your comment but pointed out that it doesn't address this "no UI" concept and whether people actually want that. While it is likely that in the future more things will be automated, it's not going to converge to people not controlling anything. I do believe systems will become better over time, just not necessarily through not having any interface.
- ThomPete 14y agoAnd I didn't disagree that we dont need interfaces, more that the action (opening the fridge door) becomes the event trigger in itself.
