OpEd: Computers Are Going To Disappear

Computers Are Going To Disappear:

"Unfortunately, using a computer sucks. The workflow for interacting with a computer goes something like this:

• 1. I want to know something
• 2. I decide to ask the computer
• 3. I get the computer ready to accept my question
• 4. I pose my question so that the computer can understand and enter it
• 5. The computer returns information relevant to my answer
• 6. I search that information for an answer
• 7. I know the thing I wanted to know

I interact with the computer for steps two through six, but I only care about steps one and seven. I want to get rid of every step that involves a computer, and, luckily for me, computers are getting smart enough to do those steps for me.
That’s why computers are going to disappear. They’re learning how to do everything I use them for. There are three awesome examples of this that are leading software to help computers disappear."
