That&#x27;s a rather unimaginative future you&#x27;re painting. Things don&#x27;t just keep getting incrementally better, but instead we get paradigm shifts.<p>We&#x27;re currently on the cusp of the machine learning paradigm shift. As ML keeps getting better, it will start showing up more and more in consumer interfaces.  I&#x27;m willing to bet that within a few decades natural language interfaces will become the norm. The desktop paradigm will simply go away at that point.<p>You&#x27;ll just tell the computer what you want to do instead of having to juggle windows using the mouse and keyboard. You&#x27;ll be able to say find that youtube video, play this song, or reply to that email.<p>The computer will most likely turn into a personal assistant, and these kinds of machines will require a lot more power than what we currently have in desktops.
