And this is interface model number one, let's call it.

The second interface model is the phone.

And I actually argue this is probably the most important one because most people on the planet have a smartphone, but most people on the planet do not have a desktop.

And the GUI, the graphical user interface that we use on laptops and monitors and phones, it's been around for 40 years and it's entirely text-based.

Even though it's visual, I still have to read the written word on my calendar, on my emails, websites.

Reading is actually not that fast.

It's not necessarily the most efficient way to process information.

And part of the reason for this is that we developed the spoken word long before the written word.

We're wired for speaking, which is why we're having this conversation by talking instead of writing back and forth to one another.

So that's a fundamental principle behind these interaction models.

And again, the phone follows that logic, but I think the phone is going to be the first one that breaks because it's an even more inefficient interface.

People have to check their email on their phone and then wait to respond on their computer because typing on a phone is so cumbersome.

And we're already seeing early signs of that, that audio is faster and preferable.

You see people using the dictation function to write emails and SMS on their phone.

That's audio.

That's a spoken word.

So the input is becoming more and more audio based.

So I think that's what we're going to see break first, and that's going to be the platform shift that matters the most.

And we've already started to see it with humane, which came and went, but now open AI is going to release its own audio first device.

And while it may have a visual component, again, it's going to be primarily an audio interface.
