Add a Siri into a tablet and with decent enough voice recognition, tablets could be more strongly slated in the market relative the netbook and notebook. Why? Tablet keyboards are generally virtual unless you get a plug in type to tote along as well. The keyboard might seem to be such a big deal, if you were strictly the sort of the communicator that needed merely click and go, but if click and go text predictive word smith software hadn't met some crucial need, like writing that favorite book, writing biographies, extensive memorandums (who does this these days, really?), one might have fared well, cr8tng any manner of funi short hands (technically this is really tweet/smartphone territory. My apologies for poor short hand spelling here, but don't count the keyboard out for other reasons like, there are a bunch a people around me yelling and screaming all manner of secrets about Iranian nuclear technology, here Siri with really loose lips starts babbling and the next thing you know the IAEA is down your throat. In any event, while voice recognition and transliter... something software could potentially displace the keyboard, it has its drawbacks, but then next big leap in assisted technologies are, mind read software. Not only loose lips but loose mind problems are the only drawback here. Imagine a thought like dressing down the boss during some important interview, and then there it is, a nude rendering, or something like the start of a bad Shades of Grey novel series. Seriously though, thought based assisted technologies could also have some effect in displacing the keyboard, but in the end one might predict for any manner of technology developed, something of a hold our remains, unless cultures adapt use endemically a given technology that replaces the form and function of an old one, it seems the old somehow continues to persist. In any event, there are presently now generations of screen gestures enabled notebooks on the market, and likely the tablet while providing a nice compact elegant form and function will have its respective niche.
I am holding out for Google glasses. If only because holding a smartphone in peripheral or staring down at such a device while traversing a flight of stairs going up or down could be of potential danger?
I hadn't mentioned the netbook much here. Honestly I never figured the market out on this device. Computation wise, maybe slower then the notebook, having the keyboard friendliness of a notebook, but slightly smaller and having less weight. The sort of device one might use for Internet stuff and less processing intense type apps. Hmm...some predicted the demise of the netbook but its still here.
Then complaints about smart gestures enabled remote tablet like televisions. I personally thought it could be a stretch but its in market now. Browsing reader's comments on a related in topic article someone stated the obvious: having to fiddle with gestures is about the same as pressing the keys of a remote. Of course, yes, I'd tend agree with this, unless you wanted more sophisticated filter search abilities for any number of shows, music, or media in general. The problem with more highly refined search capabilities matters with respect to purchasing consumer culture. If an individual were perfectly satisfied with FOX, ESPN, and any of the like common cable channel programming the remote seems perfectly fine. The problem is that many now are migrating I would imagine into more sophisticated media programs and could be consequently more selective with respect to channel programming. Thus even the smart television could be a force in the future. Now if it could only consistently find the sorts of programs, channels, movies and media that I'd like...maybe, maybe not, but not something that a hooked up home desktop system with wireless keyboard and mouse couldn't solve. Basically its market of the big screen all in one system.
