As of November 30, 2025, less than two years have passed since the prediction was made and roughly 19 years remain until the ~2044 horizon implied by “in 20 years.” The claim is specifically about what will predominate as the dominant form of human–computer interaction for the next generation (his children’s generation) around that time, not about the situation in the mid‑2020s.

Currently, traditional direct control methods—keyboards, touchscreens, mice, and manual UI navigation—still dominate mainstream computing on phones, PCs, and tablets, even though ambient and AI‑mediated interactions (voice assistants, context‑aware services, generative‑AI copilots, etc.) are growing. There is no way to definitively assess now whether these ambient interactions will become the dominant mode by ~2044.

Because the prediction is explicitly about a 20‑year future state and that date has not yet arrived, its accuracy cannot yet be judged.
