Web 2.x ?

Some useless thoughts of what could be next incremental feature addition in web 2.0 with current available technology.

Speech recognizing websites. How about getting into website and give a voice commands like pay bill, print statement. Web based voice chat apps show the capability to send voice data over the wire and automated telephonic response using speech recognition seems to be much more improved. Can these technologies mash?

Seamless web drives. Platform neutral i/o protocol that will enable users to add personal web space/folder like any connected external drive. People should be able to open and edit a document over web just like one in local drive; underlying protocol should manage connectivity/encryption/transmission with data store in the cloud. With high speed connectivity becoming ubiquitous, it will be a nice feature addition to OS.
