Does anyone else thinks NUI is not the perfect next step for UIs ?

CLI-Command Line interface (Generic) GUI-Graphical User Interface(Generic) NUI-Natural User Interface(almost Generic) From generic what i mean, its almost same for everyone who uses it. Can't we make that thing specific to a type of person who is using it? Please comment on the wild thought:P

No. First, far as I can tell, currently NUI is best guess approach not application learning. Learning has existed for years and most people don't use it. Second, some functionality, such as typing are unlikely to be replaced.
Rich are getting richer and poor getting poorer. I am speaking with reference to technology. I was thrown out of my OS lab when i argued that NUI is just not a great idea. We are making it easier and easier for common people than raising their standards or telling them more about computer technology. I think they would prefer learning how to code(so that they can solve their problems by themselves and not waiting for a s/w or an app that will solve it for them) than having installed computer on their face(google glasses)

Well if this supposed "NUI" is the same heap of crap that's called Metro then no, it's a backwards step.

It should be the LNOB interface...Leave No One Behind UI!

It's not the destination, it's the journey.hah..that's the good one. I am surely going to add that "LNOB" interface in my next android app!! :P You do it in your code..

Yep sir, people with disabilities, but not those what you meant. Like if don't like math, i lack that part(its a type of disability for me). On the other hand i like music, so in my UI things related to maths should be hidden or converted to music without changing its actual meaning. In short for a musician microsoft windows should be made totaly different than it should be for a mathematician. If google can provide us the ad's depending on the searches that we make or following our emails that we get,then it can surely manage to give that much flexible UI with little more effort.

"They" wont. If people would prefer to code then the world would be full of people coding. its not. The massive majority are users not developers.

The problem with changing interfaces significantly depending on the user is one of support. User : "When I wave my hands anti-clockwise and say "Noteus padius" my email program starts instead of Notepad Support: "Have you tried re-starting the computer?"

Nope, I think about a third of humanity is mentally rigged to cough up new ideas, which the other two thirds do their best to shoot them down ...

Making interfaces specific could be a real problem. Imagine if you did the same thing for cars? I might want to drive using my left hand on a joystick, someone else steers with their knees etc. We cold no longer drive one another's cars! Of course, you could argue that making the drive interface entirely software driven would help with that - but then I would need to be able to change preferences instantly and have my personal interface downloaded before I could drive your car. And so it would be with any device with an interface. Suddenly I can't use the microwave without logging on first!

i don't want everyone to be a developer, i just wan't from everyone to have some knowledge about coding and computer technology. and you can imagine that how much time it would save in software development(sdlc) when the client understands ur 2nd level dfd in one go. how about it?

It's not the destination, it's the journey.Or the LCD UI, lowest common denominator ui. When I look at the metro ui, I kind of start wondering what happend to the guy who once designed programmers workbench ...

Sir, you can drive cars only in one boring way, everyday. With little or small manipulations. But when it comes on coding, sky is the limit. You can program to the same output, with different logic everyday. And logic is about your idea of doing things. So why not collect that idea from every field.

Sure, when you can perform open heart surgery, then it's fair for you to expect that busy doctor to have knowledge about coding. Your youth and inexperience is showing.
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.
