In an earlier post, I wondered why voice recognition hadn't progressed faster than it has, since I for one can dictate a heck of a lot quicker than I can type;
and voice control, well its got to be easier to snap a curt command at a computer than locate oneself in front of the good old qwerty keyboard.
Well I still see a future in the latter, but as for the dictate-a-letter thing, well maybe not.
The trouble with voice is that it is so public. That maybe explains why txting became so popular so quickly; like email, IM, etc, you can have a completely private conversation with someone anywhere.
I mean can you imagine saying out loud to your computer "Siri, txt my mistress telling her that I can't meet her at the motel because the missus has cancelled her golf foursome" ? nah, its not going to fly, is it? An awful lot of our communication we like to keep to ourselves.
Besides,if we all start talking to our computers, the noise pollution will be incredible!
