"I'm suggesting that in the years or maybe months ahead, mainstream brokers such as Schwab and E*Trade could be the ones offering state-of-the-art daytrading software. Think what their gargantuan R&D war chests might buy: voice-activated order fills, animated bots that explain trading strategies, artificial intelligence, a 3-D video-game-like interface and -- why not? -- a real joystick instead of a mouse! A setup like that could turn all of us into hard-edged daytraders -- people with nerves of steel and raw cunning (people scared to leave their terminals on bathroom breaks for fear of missing out on a market blip) -- yes, ultimate video-game addicts."
