After reading the article: Dustin's ideas are simply not ready to exist.
And somehow he hand-waves toward the ever-enlarging group that uses Siri and Google Now all the time. Sports, weather, directions, etc.
- VLM 12y ago"ever-enlarging group that uses Siri and Google Now" I was curious where we are on the stereotypical fad graph, the upswing, the plateau of disillusionment, the decline, whatever. Turns out its VERY hard to find usage stats. "In the wild" I've never seen any human being use siri or now, other than fooling around a couple years back when it was new. My wife and I both have Now equipped phones and its mostly just an annoyance when it detects an upward swipe. Anecdotally I find voice UI much like having printer support on my phone. Something I imagine would be insanely useful, so of course I have an app that can print to my printer. What an amazing network of possibilities. But in practice I never use it. Ever. Once to verify it works. Yup, it works. Never printed anything again. To some extent this is just "owning a laser printer" in general, which I really don't need and will not replace when it eventually breaks.
