I'm thinking eventually the tv will just be a massive all in one pc. It'll have a harddrive for storing shows, etc, and it will have tons of connections, and it will come with an actual keyboard, and a remote. You'll just pop up the interface over whatever you're watching, and go. Pretty much what the tv's are now, but better, and they will have an actual decent gui and operating system.
I know he didn't invent the smartphone. xD But in my mind, whoever makes something popular, deserves the same amount of credit, or more than the creator. He spurred the smartphone craze (IMO). The iPhone sold like crazy, and now Android and other smartphones have gui options that look like the iPhone (not in colour or anything, just the way it works). Granted, most of that is because there is no other good way to organize your home screen and such now I suppose. He also created the tablet craze (IMO). Even Vizio is making a tablet and smartphone now. All of that is opinion though. It'll be interesting this summer to see what sells more if they roll out the iPhone5 (or whatever it'll be called) though, in since it will be on Verizon and AT&T.
And some people like how there is just one iPhone and one iPad. It doesn't lead to fragmentation. I think if Android was on the same release on every phone, it'd dominate the iPhone, but, it never will be. It will always be fragmented (as of now anyway). That's a personal thing too though. I would rather just wait a year and get the software update, and be happy knowing I will get most of the functions, while still retaining my phone zippy speed. Some people would rather just go out and buy a new phone if the next Android update will slow it down, rather than miss out.
If we were in the army, and at war or something, maybe those 0.0008 seconds would matter. But right now, I am sure my friends don't need them, and could spare the extra second or two or three keystrokes to spell correctly. I don't mind the typing instead of writing, I just think having everyone using lame abbreviations all the time is a bad idea. Eventually good grammar will just disappear as a standard. That agessss off though, if that was to happen.
