Steve Wozniak interview (Apple co-founder)

[rpm]

The future of computing will be through voice recognition and location awareness but the first signs of artificial intelligence will probably appear on the internet, says Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.

Known universally by his nickname Woz, he was the engineering genius to Steve Jobs’ marketing nous and created the early computers on which Apple’s legacy was built. He is in South Africa for FNB’s staff leadership summit and spoke extensively about the future of technology and the where he thinks it is headed.

Great to see Woz in South Africa. Cool interview by Toby Shapshak.

Give the man a Note 2. He will never use anything else.

Voice recognition is a bit of a red herring imo. It's important but no way it's the future. non-touch based gesture control for me is much more important.

I fully agree with you, and MS are making strides in that arena already :

Leap Motion are the ones to watch as far as I'm concerned. If I wasn't po white trash I'd have shares in them already.

My only issue with Leap is that you're still tied to a physical plane as it were....

But they're both promising developments.
