is going to disappear.

And so instead of us as people directing and operating a machine,

the machines all around us

embedded in our environment

will have the intelligence to understand our intentions,

and our needs, and will proactively serve those needs.

That's an ideal future that I think is at the heart of

organizations like the University of Michigan School of Information.

So, I really like this sort of rubric of

getting past the idea of operating a computer

and having computers instead proactively and intelligently serve our needs.
