Then after that was keyboard.
And then after that, the tertiary thing was a voice input.
We need to flip it.
We need to absolutely flip it, and we have to say, and this is what I always wanted to do at Nest, which is I want to remove displays, and we need to have voice as the number one primary feature, and you build around voice.
Then we have keyboard if necessary, and then we have tapping and swiping.
Okay, it should go exactly the opposite.
And the problem why most of us don't go around talking to our phones and everything, and we saw this also happen with cars, there was tactile buttons, and then there was the touchscreens, and then they also added the voice in.
But nobody really uses voice in the car unless it's some accessibility thing, right?
Because voice was always added at the end because it was always like, well, it sort of works and it's a gizmo, but it's like Alexa was for version 1.0 or Siri was.
But when we actually have really good voice input with not just...
Understand it's like whisper flow or something because that's great.
What I'm saying is the intelligence behind it with memory and everything else.
So it's then we can start to say and and we can start to use that much more specifically and then deprecate those other things.
But we've always have to have them there as a crutch.
for voice because voice has never been able to deliver.
So that's the long-term thing.
So it'll have some kind of display, but it's gonna be much more voice primary, and then you're gonna have the other things as secondary and tertiary.
In the middle now, or sometime soon, it's gonna look much, much like the smartphone is because we're not gonna get away from the all app interface anytime soon.
We're not going to get, you know, we're going to move some things, but we don't trust it yet.
It's going to take a while till we trust it.
