I hate to have to ask a boring question, but it's something I've always been curious about:
As someone who is clearly interested in digital media and especially novel user interfaces (viz: The Guide concept, MacOS(?!), the speech interface in Starship Titanic, h2g2.com), where do you think user interfaces are going?
Is the whole current computer-based web free-for-all thing a step in the right direction, or just another hopeless attempt to make all this information useful for everyone?
