I agree dark.
some of that has been done with search but its not good say with
multipul items say I want shades of doom it will find the first one
it sees which is usually 1.2 but not 2.0.
Or if I ant smuglers games to play it may not bring up all
the searches I want and sometimes it takes a while to come up.
Also on the odd ocations in windows I have had the index corrupt and
have to rebuild it.
Also is the point that if you index an external device like a drive
if something changes it has to reindex everything again.

Hi Tom.
I do think keyboards will hang on as I said, though for many blind
and vi computer users if it were possible to access functions
without having to scrabble around with a screen reader, or poke
around a touch screen for icons that would be very useful, indeed it
would help with a lot of user interface problems sinse you'd no
longer need to worry about "where is so and so in this new os" or similar.
I can already say to siri "open the ap store" or "phone my brother"
and indeed I usualy use Siri this way to phone people sinse it's
easier than running through my big list of contats.
One interesting thought however, is that if dictation does go to
it's ultimate conclusion to the point that you can access anything
via dictation, there will need to be a backup. What do you do at
work, or at night when you don't want to wake someone up? While
there will probably still be a touch screen, likely if people are
used to speaking to their computers this probably will be a less
efficient interface for accessing everything, sinse if people have
been talking to their machines how will they know under which set of
sub menus say "control center settings is", so people will need a
way of conveying information to the computer in a wway that is like
speech but in situations where speech is not possible.
Bring back the C prompt! :D.
Whether people will be using keyboards or some varient of an on
screen keyboard I don't know, but if computers get sophisticated
enough so that speech becomes the medium of interaction and people
are no longer having to use a language of learnt symbols and nested
information, well what is like speech but not speech, ---- writing! :D.
And things go full circle :d.
Of course I'm not sure on this. I suspect that sinse most sighted
people still respond to images over writing the gui will still be
around in a usable form, even if the gui is more limited than the
speech access, but still it'd be a nice thought and rather ironic.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
