It won’t be long before your cellphone finishes off your text messages for you. Infuriating as the idea sounds, a Californian company called AirTX has developed a predictive messaging system that’s happy to guess your next word and even finish off the rest of the sentence. It works by taking the most common word combinations you have previously entered and offers them up as future suggestions. So if you’ve typed in “See you later� then the next time you enter an “s� it will ask if you want the following word to be “see�. If so, it offers “you�, and so on. Good news for the aching thumb brigade.
