You are being shortsighted and silly. Here are some excellent examples to show you that speech technology could be pretty damn amazing! The first one <strike>could</strike> will save lives.

(While driving) "Should I turn left or right at this intersection?"

(While shopping, examining a carton of eggs) "Were these eggs cheaper at the corner store?"

(While coding) "Any meetings soon?"

..... Do I need to continue? The applications are endless, assuming it actually works. People have felt stupid in the past because the conversation would go like this: "note to self"....."I said, NOTE TO SELF not NOTICE ELF you fucking idiot machine!"

The point is...if Google can do it well, it will take off.
