I just found this Youtube video of a proposed method of communicating with the medical nanobots one might have coursing though ones body in another few decades:
Yeah, I thought it was a bit much. I would love to be able to get, for example, the blood chemistry readouts, but not have to understand them in order to know if the twinge was significant.
Pretty much, the only part that a layman might understand was the front page, which you may note had such useful stats as 'total orgasm count'.
Yes, that seemed useful, at least for those who are competitive-minded. I've been tihnking about it, an I suspect the best UI has a primary mode which says either 'don't panic, but don't buy the chicken there again this week' or 'please sit down and wait for the ambulance. It's going to be ok.'
