Default Re: No Speech Recognition

Working on a university campus, I see lots of students texting away furiously, eyes utterly focused on a tiny screen. Always a top of the range phone, walking into flower beds, walking into walls, generally colliding with each other and anything else. Steps are an especial hazard.

Cyberlemmings?

It seems like we are watching the beginning of mankind's retreat from reality.

Maybe apps which add guidance arrows on-screen could fix the lemming problem, but without such non-virtual activities as nutrition and reproduction, we'll join the dodo.

Meanwhile, those of us still in the real world can play with old electronics, listen to the birds in 3-D, and generally have a good time.
