Paul Graham on Twitter: "Platform shifts tend to be hard to predict. They seem obvious in retrospect, but think how hard the last one would have been to predict. Someone somewhere (maybe in Kitchener, Canada) could well be making the next platform right now. https://t.co/t88bEsccoQ… https://t.co/aJBaNOMBwP"

  The platform shift is often right there - but nobody sees it till some amazing app built on it comes. There is always a magic moment that signals the start of a platform. E.g iPhone moment, when the first light bulb went on. What are the wow moments of 2019?

  Not saying we won't get there eventually, but problem with this as well as smart watches is the input output dilemma. If I receive a notification that requires action and need to use my phone to do so, the would rather receive the input on just one screen.

  Two other platforms that are coming which may be interesting are the Boston dynamics spot mini and brain computer interface type platforms like neural link.
