+
+Fifteen years ago, Jeff Atwood declared:
+
+> **Atwood’s Law:** “Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.”
+
+At the time, this was a bold assertion. Yet today, we see it realized in countless applications — from web-based versions of Photoshop to browser-run IDEs. The web became the universal platform, and JavaScript its lingua franca.
+
+Now, we stand at the dawn of a new era: the age of **conversational interfaces**.
+
+---
+
+## The Rise of Conversational Interfaces
+
+Consider a recent demonstration shared by Joseph Michael on LinkedIn. An AI agent assists a customer through voice, text, and video — understanding context, preferences, and even visual inputs to provide personalized recommendations and services.
+
+This isn't a distant future — it's happening now.
+
+Just as web applications once replaced desktop software, **conversational interfaces** are beginning to supplant traditional GUIs. The reasons are clear:
+
+- **Accessibility:** Voice and text interfaces lower the barrier to entry for users of all ages and abilities.  
+- **Efficiency:** Conversational agents can handle complex tasks through simple dialogues.  
+- **Personalization:** AI-driven conversations adapt to individual user needs in real-time.
+
+---
+
+## Huan’s Law
+
+Drawing inspiration from Atwood, I propose:
+
+> **Huan’s Law:** “Any application that can be talked to, will eventually be talked to.”
+
+This isn't merely a prediction — it's an observation of current trends.
+
+From customer service bots to voice-controlled home devices, **conversational interfaces are becoming ubiquitous**.
+
+---
+
+## Embracing the Shift
+
+For developers and businesses, this shift presents both challenges and opportunities:
+
+- **Designing for Dialogue:** Crafting intuitive conversational flows requires a new set of design principles.  
+- **Leveraging AI:** Integrating natural language processing (NLP) and understanding (NLU) to create responsive agents.  
+- **Ensuring Privacy:** Handling user data responsibly in conversational contexts.
+
+At [Wechaty](https://wechaty.js.org/), we’ve been at the forefront of this transformation — providing tools and frameworks to build conversational agents efficiently.
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The evolution of user interfaces is steering toward conversation.
+
+As we embraced the web and JavaScript in the past, it's time to embrace conversational AI.
+
+In the spirit of Huan’s Law:  
+**If it can be talked to, it will be.**
