Bill Gates: Keyboards are going to lose out to speech
by Matt Hickey on February 22, 2008

Bill Gates was recently giving a speech at Canegie Mellon and said the following:

“We say that there’ll be more searches done through speech than through the keyboard five years from now.”

That’s five years from now. 2013. We’ll have jet packs and flying cars and push-button girlfriends by then, too. At least I will.

Bill, as your neighbor and friend, I must recommend you stop buying the cheap crack. Go to Belltown and get the good stuff.

In related news, Logitech has been accused of hiring a hitman for an anonymous murder in an affluent Washington State neighborhood. (No, not really.)

Notice how he is promising something we are not going to see, mainly because, as we all know, the world will end by 2012… Pretty clever!

 

Talk about quoting out of context, i bet this is exactly how the “you will never need ___of memory” myth started.

he said SEARCHES, like search by voice. not that we are gonna stop using keyboards by 2013

 

I seriously doubt that will happen.
