I WANT A STAR TREK COMPUTER 💎

I believe the real future of computing is much simpler than people make it sound.

I don’t want another clever app. I don’t want more menus, keyboards, mice, windows, modes, buttons, opening this and closing that.

I want a Star Trek computer. Captain Kirk had the right idea.

I want to sit down and say, “This is what I want you to do,” and have the technology understand whether that means speaking, writing, finding, organizing, showing me something, or helping me think something through.

Voice, text, images, tools, all of it should eventually become one conversation.

And this matters particularly for people with disabilities like me, older people like me, and anyone who doesn’t fit the imagined “standard user”. Like me!

Technology should adapt to the particular human being in front of it, not require the human to adapt to the machine.

That, to me, is where AI gets genuinely interesting: when the technology disappears into the background and we can get on with living our Star Trek lives.
