Question #1

Do you think that there are downsides to voice recognition? What types of problems do think may occur in the future using voice recognition?

Answer:
I do feel that there are several downsides to voice recognition and I think that those issues need to be addressed before it becomes a massive part of the internet culture. There are several factors that could cause voice recognition to be less effective. One issue that could come up is the fact that people have significantly different accents across the country and might say one thing but have it come out differently. This could be extremely frustrating and become even more difficult to communicate than how the internet is set up now. Another downside is that all sites may not be equipped to handle voice recognition. It may take years for it to become completely compatible. However, even with all of the potential downsides I feel that the benefits far outweigh the small road blocks that we may face.
