Aside from JT's multi-button suggestion, I think that the ultimate evolution of electronic shifting would be some sort of active sensing and adjustment of derailer positioning: imagine auto-trimming on the fder, and auto-adjusting postitioning on the rder. Even auto-overshoot or undershoot could be programmed in, if there was some benefit to shifting.
A lock in display, a few generations removed from the fighter plane stuff. You look through special cheesy white sunglasses until you lock on the person you want to get by. The bike shifts to the appropriate gear and tells you your cadence to accomplish the task. Look at Boonen and it has a special '[censored]' response.
That's too funny. If rbr had a hall of fame, I would put this in.

And just what sunglasses do you think Hincapie has been wearing (they even seem to work when targetting podium girls).
Eh, I don't have all of that, but I did upgrade to a heads-up in-eyeball display for the power meter, speed, and gear display (I still shift with the levers to keep the UCI from catching on). And cadence just to [censored] Robert Chung.

Robert Chung is a red herring.
I always knew there was something fishy about those charts.
The British government has learned that Robert Chung recently sought significant quantities of herring from Norway.
Ah. Very good. You're saying that a red herring is a weapon of misdirection.
Kind of reminds me of an old Matt Helm (Dean Martin) movie, where they delivered $ 1 billion US gold bullion from Fort Knox to London via a train through Denmark. Or maybe it was all a red herring. Which may be the semi-German version of a Sherlock Holmes tale...

Although none of the herring has yet been found, this is proof of Chung's dissembling. Why else would he have a mobile sour cream trailer?
We know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know. That is an unknown unknown.
