They kept this hype bubble going. I am presently turning off even predictive text (though it seems greyed out..blast and damn it) on my phone in annoyance.

I disagree with this scientist Adam Becker on one point only - he said it is akin to hyping really good autocorrect. In my experience it is more like really shitty autowrong.

It is the damn Printer from Office Space on steroids.

(Btw can anyone tell me why predictive text cannot be turned off on the Iphone?)
