The more I look at voice interfaces the more they remind me of pen computing in the 1990s. The tech is sort of there and it seems like it should be a better UI, but the tech isn’t actually there and the UI is really problematic. And we had to wait for 20 years and multitouch.

Daniel, thanks for asking sir. Interesting analogy to Pen Computing. The thing is Pen computing never grew to be more than a novelty and to CAD use cases.

I find @benedictevans to be one of the best minds on the history + future of tech. I understand his position on #VoiceFirst from a theoretical + abstract concept. However I diverge on the empirical evidence of very high adoption. There is also @JeffBezos:https://twitter.com/michaelbatnick/status/1044371281456635905 …
