More voice control

No I don't like yapping at my phone or PC, but my 6yo kid loves FireTV's voice search feature and uses google voice search all the time on her iPad, even if she knows how to spell the words. As precision improves, I see my wife is using it more too, for searches and dictation.

More support for device-/screen-hopping (state-in-the-cloud, continued-commerce)

Stick-computers

Affordable devices optimized for streaming screens/desktops/apps hosted in the cloud. Hardware upgrades only in data centers. Consumers investing instead in high bandwidth/low latency connections.

Web 3.0 == forgetting (ignoring/hiding)

More apps featuring some form of 'forgetting' (hiding older, unused, unimportant, noisy data).

More apps assisting in the reverse: new mechanisms to improve recall/precision of 'forgotten' information by 'priming' our searches with user input (sounds, locations, colors, images) and/or interactive feedback (hot/cold, before/after, similar/different, binary search)



Not just with the voice control - I can imagine something like Siri being able to respond to requests of things like, "Please show me all of my videos taken while I was in Hawaii of 2014."


This also comes back to hands free for driving, etc. I don't understand why a tesla d can drive itself but we're still using blinkers and manual actions to change lanes...


This may be in our near future as well. Did you see the Audi R7 piloted driving stuff?

Yea, so fucking cool. Also worth noting that this was on a closed course with a known track... That makes everthing a lot easier.

Update: I never saw this video, very cool thanks!
