The future of Voice Gadgets


There's a thread in FB now featuring guys that make fool of Siri. Hahaha! The guy asked Siri, "Can you marry me?" Reply: "Let's just be friends." Intelligent voice technology! Not only do we want it easy, we also get lonely, huh. Hence, entertainment has been a billion dollar industry. 
As our society becomes open, we also become closed. We want to connect but we are actually individualistic. There are things we want ourselves to  be and most of them are away from the prying eyes of others. For men who need to be more expressive for instance, they end up trying so alone. But some men who are hopelessly romantic may now find SIRI the best outlet.  =)
Just as "entertainment" is a billion dollar industry so will gadgets with voice technology. They just need the value of "ease" and "entertainment" and huuh! huge potential revenue.  *(^,^)* 
Future of voice activated gadgets? One day, they will be as conversant as humans. Apparently, speech technology has made great progress, and continues to be better 10-15% every year. Voice recognition is evolutionary and exciting! 
By the time these gadgets are rampant, IUJ will be a better place. Loners will have company.  =)
