The future of technology is going to be invisible!
I recently saw Imran Chaudhuri’s talk at TED about his company Humane and their mission - building innovative technology that feels familiar, natural, and human.
This rekindled one of my earliest memories of technology that was an augmentation of yourself. Technology that was an enabler, an assistant, a helper and not the technology we know today. Screens and bigger screens with bigger keyboards - and please don’t - face wrapping VR/AR glasses that remove you more from the world.
That seed was planted in the summer of 2008 by a brilliant young technologist at a similar TED stage called Pranav Mistry. Pranav excited and wowed us by the promise of technology that was a natural extension of the the human body and blended and seamlessly disappeared when not needed so that you could expereince that around you and take in life a moment at time without distractions.
Pranav went on to work at Samsung and we expected great breakthroughs to come and I as young 20 something was excited by our future. However a decade later that promise was not met (Pranav, I am looking at you!)
Now, a decade (and some years later), I am once again energized by the proposition that the breakthroughs in LLM’s and generative AI might possibly enable us to get rid of the silicon and glass that has taken over our lives. It’s time to go back to living life where we are enhanced by technology and not enslaved by it.
The future is promising!
Imagine a future without phones!
Cheers 🥂
