Tech Giants Are Racing to Be the First to Develop "The Last App"

The following article was inspired by futurist John Smart's series on the future of personal AI assistants, aka Sims. In a paraphrase of futurist Stewart Brand he notes, "We are gaining superpowers, so we better get good at using them." The world has filled up with digital clutter, millions of apps, websites, news sources, videos, messaging programs and social media platforms. Technology was meant to make life easier, to organize and make sense of things, to free us from drudgery, not fill it with more crap we don't want. A race is going on between the tech giants to be the first to come up with the last app you will ever need.
