I've pretty much gotten used to it, and take all news with a grain of
salt.  Remember, if we believe everything we had heard about computers
and the latest and greatest to make everything else obsolete, computers
are now programming themselves, have artificial intelligence, and we no
long use keyboards, we just talk to them.

Don't you remember those?  Voice recognition is making keyboards
obsolete, etc...

Some places use voice recognition, but not most.  Just like everything
else.

Regards,

Jim Langston
