Comment Computers Are Doomed (Score 1) 487

The problem with all computer UI's ever made is that the computer is a general use device, not directly suited to any particular task. A word processor is so completely different from an MP3 player that any virtual UI would fail to work as well for both. What do I actually have to work with? A keyboard (a bunch of buttons that all look and feel alike) and a mouse (a generalized pointing device).

Want a good MP3 player interface? Buy a Rio. Specialized devices will be the next thing - real world devices that meet the specific need of the task. Generalized computers will be relegated to geeks like me, as should be.
