The film Her (2013) told of a divorcee who develops a romantic relationship with the AI in his computer\u2019s operating system. It cleverly explores the social stigma and personal conflict that might arise. I\u2019d highly recommend it. But whilst watching it, I couldn\u2019t help notice that, in this futuristic society, there was a distinct lack of keyboards.<\/p>\n

\"Good<\/p>\n

Just yesterday, I set a reminder to pick up a missed parcel from the post office at 13:15 with a single button press. No, it wasn\u2019t the world\u2019s most specific alarm clock app \u2013 it was simply a case of telling my phone to listen, and it did the rest for me as I spoke.<\/p>\n

This is far from extraordinary. Millions of people have been using voice control on their devices (such as Siri) for years. Interestingly, Microsoft has integrated Cortana into Windows 10 \u2013 the first time voice control has been so central to the desktop software. It raises the question; is this the end for the keyboard?<\/p>\n

The keyboard has been around for many years \u2013 the mechanical typewriter, the desktop peripheral, and most recently the electronic touch screen. Are we now seeing an important shift the level of physical interaction needed to operate our computers?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Will the youngest children in 2015 see keyboards as archaic by the time they start school? And, from an elearning perspective, what will this mean for instructional design?<\/p>\n

Of course there is a significant work to do before voice control is truly universal to avoid situations like this<\/a>. But the road to conversational interaction with computers has already begun. Though it might be slightly early to fundamentally redesign all our courses, it\u2019s something that may become essential to consider in the future.<\/p>\n

One of the challenges us learning technologists face is overcoming the resistance of traditional educators (and, to an extent the parents of students) to adopt new learning subjects and methods. Often they believe we should learn what and how they learnt, preparing them for yesterday\u2019s needs using yesterday\u2019s technology.<\/p>\n

I believe the debate over using cloud technology to access the wonderful world of stored information and data is won. The Cloud can give us every data requirement cheaper and more efficiently than any alternative. How long now though before the \u2018do we need a keyboard?\u2019 debate starts?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
