>My pick for the next real user interface revolution? Smart hearing aids, using speech as the UI. Inconspicuous, and simple to use - particularly for our affluent ageing population, many of whom need the hearing aid part anyway.
I like this idea.
The best part? The elderly are already used to spending a few grand on these and the current functionality is limited to amplifying/filtering sound.
