wants their children to be rude, but currently voice assistants do not require any “please”, or “thank you” – it isn’t essential information that affects their understanding. But this is just food for thought, and as this technology is in its infancy we do not yet fully know what users might want from this technology in the future.
Even though there is still room for improvement, especially when it comes to contextual understanding, Voice Assistance technology is undergoing a “silent revolution”. This doesn’t mean screens will completely disappear, at least not in the next decade. Graphical interfaces will certainly still be present as sight is just as important as voice when it comes to humans interacting with the world. But I am positive that as the argument for this new interface gains momentum, eventually it will become the only voice in the room.
