Talking about the future: "Being Digital" (1990) by MIT's Negroponte still holds true that we can't promise anything today if we continue to think what could be a next step.

What we need to be doing instead is to visualize the most desirable situation and work on progressing towards this vision, considering and accepting today’s solutions as logical trends and a progression!

Even if this new solution can't address that future vision as an end result, we need to ask ourselves: is it a stepping-stone and will it help to reach the next level(s).

Others claim they would not jump back and forth to set filters, bookmarks, blocks and the likes.

Assuming this is a step into a future direction, combine it with speech recognition, profiled and dynamically recognized preferences and you made a quantum leap!

Semel for president!
