It's clear from the interview that Kay thinks mobile computing isn't where it should be. But I haven't studied the DynaBook. Does anyone know exactly what Kay thinks is needed, in order to realize his dream?

I found a few such things in the article:

- more-discoverable undo

- some sort of AI-based virtual assistant

- a stylus and holder, and presumably input methods and applications that are better suited for that stylus

- something nebulous about having warning labels and being designed for the higher-order cognitive centers of our brains
