How we interact with devices is changing

How we intereact with a computer is changing very rapdily.... touch and voice have become the new way of interaction. I think Siri is a great step towards integrating contextual speech recognition with a mobile device... It is in BETA state, but am sure it has lot of opportunity for improvement.

I think in Future, the objects will become more smarter, more integrated. Objects will be able to interact with each other or with humans. Example, a chair can interact with a human and adjust height, lumbar support, recline etc...

The Profound Change

Change has always been happening, but i call it 'profound' because it has now started to simplify life.


HOW?
The future is about integration and consolidating.


Imagine 5 years a go in India, to pay electricity or landline bill one would have to stand in a long que, to listen to music, one would need a radio or a music system, to pay rent to the landlord, one would write a cheque and the courier it...... NOW, thanks to integration one can do all of the above from their smart phone itself :). The entire ecosystem has become profound, very tightly integrated.
