Naturally some of this has to do with texting/IM/Twitter usage. Twitter has also shown that natural name addresses are popular too. <br><br>So why is that when we want to communicate with someone voia email or twitter we'll use their name but when it's through the phone we'll use a number? I don't think it's because we're more comfortable with abstract codification, I think it's simply inertia on our part and on the part of the telephone industry.

So why is that when we want to communicate with someone voia email or twitter we’ll use their name but when it’s through the phone we’ll use a number? I don’t think it’s because we’re more comfortable with abstract codification, I think it’s simply inertia on our part and on the part of the telephone industry.

Regarding our cultural admiration facing synthesis matters, numbers look great to solve this problem.

About voice recognition, i have doubts, it doesn't work very well with cell phones (at least in France…).

My point is :
1. If we keep numbers on devices, that's maybe because men feel mort confortable with an abstract codification to controle the mystical world of medias.
2. If voice recognition dont succeed in democratizing, that's because we need to control our environment, to touch stuffs, to feel them.

Needs a Dyson in there although one of my suggestions a while back was to have a really heavy chrome remote. Solid, easy to find and something to have on display rather than fall down the back of the sofa. Lovely observation about remotes not keeping up.
