In the future, your smartphone won't auto-correct your errors.
It will correct them before they're even made. It will know you
really meant to hit the "K" key on your screen when you hit the
"L" key. Maybe even one day, there won't be a traditional
keyboard at all, if some entrepreneurs have their way. While
Google Inc. and Apple Inc. go after ways to make it easier to
talk to your phone, a new fleet of scientists, startups and app
developers are still attacking the problem of typing and
input—perfecting how to understand what you want to type rather
than what you literally typed. - PREDICTIVE: Using natural
language processing, this technology takes cues from your typing
history, Web presence and other elements to determine what
you're trying to type and automatically predict words. -
GESTURE: Rather than using a traditional keyboard, this
technology relies on nontypical gestures like gliding your
finger or tapping regions of the screen, and determines what
you're typing using what it knows about your habits
