And this is just really just spitballing.

And I don't think this will necessarily happen.

But just imagine if we did end up pivoting from the current smartphone era to something more like the her earpiece, like right from the sci-fi movie.

So something where you've still got this device that is always on you, you're conversing with it, you can see how AI would be fed into that.

Maybe it's got a tiny camera in it.

But you are spending less time looking down at your phone.

And just life, there's much less sort of interference between that device and a deep connected life.

Now, again, the movie Her is not exactly about deep connection between human beings.

So this might just fail on its own terms.

But I just wonder if something that changes us away from this sort of curated, photo-driven, nose-to-screen world, some subtle change that is not brought about by someone wanting to get rid of smartphones, but just some technological change that makes this a thing.

That could have these sort of socio-cultural trickle-down effects that weren't anticipated.

Thank you so much, Hamid.
