    Everything connected to your phone. In less than 50 years they’re gonna laugh about how we had apps for our washing machines and dishwashers.

      I think you’re partially right, but only about everything having a separate app.

      The reality is connected devices will be so ubiquitous and commonplace that the interface will become standarfized and totally tansparent. Connecting to any arbitrary device will be as simple as connecting to an arbitray web server through a browser.

      Every device needing its own app is temporary and unsustainable.
