If computers are to aid humanity via 'intelligence amplification', one might suppose that the UI would be a siginificant enabler in this regard. So, one might suppose in a future era, when a lot of work has been done to achieve this, probably much nearer the singularity, there will be UI which are vastly different than today. Will it be a single machine based UI (ie a desktop) or something else?
- VLM 12y agoThere are also "bandwidth" issues not just generic intelligence amplification. May very well end up being a CLI, that certainly is higher bandwidth / lower latency than any sort of GUI. Also market segmentation. Lets talk Vietnam. You reach the drooling masses with a graphical action movie like "Platoon". You reach the intellectuals with a book like "Fire in the Lake". There is no universal human "right" or "wrong" just different tools. Given the above paragraph it is highly likely that noobs / non technical people will stick with touch and GUI and productive tech people will stick with somewhat more elaborate CLIs.
