Nick, indeed. It is the Apple 1 with a simple command line interface. We will not be thumb clawing our way into 2030 with the 1890s QWERTY interface. This is of great certainty. We will use what we have used for millions of years—our voice.

Nick, Steve Jobs said there would be a computer that everyone would own. His first reason was for a home computer to balance checkbooks. He went on to put a super computer in everyone’s pocket. The last thing he did was to acquire Siri, Inc. So 1976-2008 is the real timeline.
