New post: smart homes and vegetable peelers. How many smart things will we have in our homes? What will make sense? How much room is there here for startups? Will all these devices be connected to Alexa, and if they are, will it matter?https://www.ben-evans.com/benedictevans/2018/1/4/smart-homes-and-vegetable-peelers …

No, that’s a different issue entirely. The voice problem not what it *can* do, but that you cannot *remember* what it can do. And absent a screen, there’s no natural way to find out.

The winner will be whomever removes the need for intents. You won’t need to “remember” what it can do. If I say “Siri order me a pizza hut pizza” She should know how to get me there: auto-download pizza hut app, configure an account using icloud ID, use Apple Pay, etc.

@BrianRoemmele - spend many hours typing in basic programs on Commodores at school and my Atari 800 at home, before we decided games need 6502 assembly and dove in there. Good analogy though between voice and early home computers.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
