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.

This is a specious argument. We've already moved beyond QWERTY with touchscreens, which have enabled new types of games, etc. Voice has a role, but we seem to disagree about whether that role, based on available evidence, is as broad as mobile screen interfaces
