Dear CNET members, CES 2013 in Las Vegas is in full swing and I've been tuning into CNET's coverage from the get-go (while working, of course.) Are you? I'd say there's a lot of eye candy around there, from giant big-screen ultra-high-definition TVs to a slew of announcements from big companies. One thing I noticed was how many more convertible laptops (laptop/tablets) are coming out; touch screens are going to be everywhere. Speaking of touch-screen computing, CNET's Shara Tibken wrote an article titled "Voice recognition will make touch obsolete, Intel exec says," which reports that Mooly Eden, the Intel senior vice president who oversees the company's "perceptual computing" operations, predicts that voice recognition will eventually make touch screens on computers obsolete, saying it could overtake touch in as little as three to five years. Really? The last time I used a couple of my voice-recognition devices it didn't really pan out well and I simply stopped using them. I personally think we are still far off from perfecting voice recognition and it will take a lot longer to get there than he predicts. And I think that touch will not be obsolete, but work alongside voice recognition -- as I'd hate be stuck on public transportation, listening to a dozen or so people telling their laptops what to do. So what do you think of the Intel exec's prediction? Do you think voice recognition will eventually make touch obsolete? Would you prefer voice over touch computing? Many of our members have started to chime in and some of the comments are quite entertaining. Give the article a read and when you're ready, tell us what you think and take it to the poll to see what the consensus is. |
