I'll talk to a computer, even in an office setting, if it adds enough value. But it's got to be a lot of value. Handsfree while driving is great, Iron Man talking to Jarvis while he's flying around makes sense. Many of us here are developers, engineers, or scientists, and our work has already been co-optimized with mouse and keyboard and whatever software we're in.

But when the software is less well-developed, or when it's not just dealing with technical data dumps, I imagine that a voice interface might be more useful.

So I think this idea has legs. But a successful implementation might also well be decades out.
