I'm still surprised by how many people prefer talking to computers over interacting with them in a more tactile way
Like, I want to tell a computer to do something, I want to press a button, tap a screen, type some text, it just feels so much comfier to me
Even when it comes to things like "smart home" stuff, a friend of mine is really into that but every time he or his girlfriend want to turn a light on/off they have to tell "Ok Google!" like 3 times before it works, I get not wanting to get up and mess with the controls or whatever but if I had that kind of stuff I'd just, prefer using my phone's screen to interact with it, it's much more precise and less prone to failure 🤷♀️
