And my thesis is just like touchscreens have come to dominate our experience with computers because of convenience. You can have a conversation in so many different places. You don't need an instruction manual. I think it will be the main way we work with computers.

It's essentially completely removed the market for almost every other type of consumer device. So in the short term, my intuition is that the combination of a smartphone with Ray-Ban glasses or AirPods or the like, probably meaning you might need to look at your screen less than you do today.
