Voice recognition and the age when keyboards grew obsolete!

Have you noticed that 10 years ago, there wasn’t too many people who used computers, but today they’ve gotten so widespread it could be argued there aren’t so many people who *don’t* use computers? Sometimes I get wondering how it’ll be a decade from now, and one of the things that I find most intriguing has to do with the new interface technologies: I feel that the as the usage of computers will get more pervasive in the future, the way we interact with the machine will become increasingly more sophisticaded and altogether different.
For example, I have a feeling that in the future, keyboards will be rendered progressively obsolete. How is that possible, you ask? Two words: voice recognition. I mean, how cool is that? I’m speaking of a future where we’ll actually talk with our computers, controlling most operation with our voice including typing words. Can you imagine the possibilities? For some people it might sound awkard at first (I mean, try saying something to your computer right now, as though it was actually listening, and see how that makes tou feel like), but I’m telling you this is a future trend, and it will bring about many changes in the way man interacts with machine.
Well, as a matter of fact (this is something you might not be aware of), there’s already voice recognition software out on the market which is quite effective. Myself, I used to think this technology was still quite primitive, but after experiencing Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Preferred, I’m definitely convinced that in a few years, voice recognition will be the hot new thing - and I get a feeling that Dragon speaking may be a step ahead in the right direction. Judging from the NY Times Review of Dragon NaturallySpeaking, I suppose I’m not the only one who thinks that way.
Myself, I’m about to get started on my new experiment: writing a few posts out loud, leaned back in my chair and liviing it large through the fast paced contemporary days we live by… thanks (in more than a way) to Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Standard
