#BigTech companies like #Apple or #Google are under unusual pressure to show the world a futuristic, transformative product and there are plenty of incumbent ideas that we tend to agree are cool and futuristic when we see them on a lab bench. However, I think there is a lot of room to be skeptical that people will welcome these ideas into their day-to-day lives in the way that is required to produce a hit product, much less a socially transformative product like the smartphone. In this video, I talk about correct and incorrect prophecies in classic Schwarzenegger action / sci-fi films to point out that we do a better job guessing at the progress of technology than at the evolution of our day-to-day interest. I spotlight some particular technologies that are knocking on the door, including #AugmentedReality as well as a possible #ArtificialIntelligence -fueled shift in how we interact with computing broadly that you can see implicit in #OpenAI's recent focus on improving capabilities for audio and image based interaction.
