Swiftkey XKCD comic: Sorry this has not happened before…

Current readers of my blog know about typology. The project which makes predictions of what you will type in next on your smartphone. This is of course pretty similar to Swiftkey. Amazing to see how xkcd took swiftkey as a topic for the current comic. More amazing is that 3 people (not in the development team of typology) send me the link to this project independently.

I liked the comic and I think it really demonstrates the importance of a software like this. So I am really looking forward to see how typology will evolve. It also demonstrates the fallbacks of personalization of everything. In this sense I think there is also a hint to the filter bubble
