Sorry to hear about what is happening in your family.

I think your perspective is spot on. VUI (voice user interfaces) will absolutely change the way we interact with computers. After all, talking comes naturally to humans.

The digit divide (old people, very young people, illiterate) still exists. And will likely get bigger if VUIs don't get wide spread adoption.

For some reason I spent a few minutes trying to understand the digit divide before realizing it was a typo.

I do think VUI as a concept is in its infancy and will (like it or not) both hasten and address the decline of written communication.

Non-sequitur, but I cannot be the only person to find this sort performative empathy odd/out of place in this the context of HID accessiblity discussion.

Non-sequitur, but you seem like someone who says 'virtue-signalling' unironically.
You sound like a fun guy.
