For example, he said it&#8217;s simple to ask his assistant to get him ready to visit Charlotte. But on a computer, it involves opening up his calendar, visiting several Web sites, printing out tickets, and so on.

Users will be able to speak to, touch and gesture at their computers even more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It seems to me that users already make enough gestures at their computers; perhaps computers will actually behave more like this in 10 years:<\/p>\n<p>[youtube=http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=urcO5OzKwPo]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve Ballmer of Microsoft predicts what computers will be like in 10 years.
