Dave Haynie Interview - Insights On Future Technology

The interviewers obsession with "Next gen computer" is weird though. "No such thing" he's told from the offset, but then the next 10 quesions or so focus on that very thing.

Indeed. Though it's certainly refreshing to see a tech-industry designer/prognosticator who doesn't blindly fawn over the kind of Popular Science/Star Trek: The Next Generation design concepts that are clearly invented by a concept artist who's never given a thought to usability in their life...

I'd ask him where he sees computing technology going, instead of "these are all the totally cool futurey things I read about in Wired, tell me that's going to happen, 'kay?"
