A recent article I read noted that voice command would become the go-to method of not only searching for people, places and things on your mobile device, but also of texting.
I. HOPE. NOT.
Voice to text programs work relatively well, and I've been happy with the ease of using this application in the comfort of my own home. But, like I'd guess most Americans, don't spend a lot of time in my home...
Work (meaning my 9 to 5 cubicle inhabitance) consumes most of my days. It's terrifying to think of my coworkers talking to their smartphones who are talking to their friends and family throughout the day. I don't care to know that your wife is incapable of making any decisions by herself. I don't give two shits about your family's medical problems. And I definitely don't want to hear you chatting about politics or anything other subject our opinions differ on.
And in the same vein, I don't want them to hear my personal texts. They're crude, awkward and when taken out of context make me seem like the biggest asshole in New York. And that I am definitely not... These people are born with their middle-finger up and a scowl on their face.
I won't give an example of my texts, but just trust me they are obscene!
Then there's commuting -- approximately two hours -- which is already polluted with loudly explained exploits from the night before and yelling at baby-daddy's and their babies.
Then, finally, there's fun! Voice-to-text features most likely don't work well in noisy environments. And besides I try to keep as quiet as possible at bars so the "guy of my dreams" has ample opportunity to come over and say hello. ;)
That's a joke. Seriously... I don't do that.
Touch texting is private and discrete. Those are beneficial features. Touch texting isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
