Look ma no hands
Well this is a first for me. I'm providing this update without using my hands but rather using my voice. I'm not sure I'm quite accustomed to this just yet but I'm using voice recognition to control my computer. All of the text UC written here was done purely by voice. I have not done any editing by hand using the keyboard or mouse.
The interesting thing is I can still remember back in the early nineties having traveled to Boston to research a new startup firm which specialized in speech recognition. The company I work for invested a large amount of money in this new business venture and I spent the next year working with this group of people porting a highly complex set of code to run under windows. The technology was interesting but at the time did not work very well. Now here I sit in front of my computer speaking in my regular voice watching the words appear on the screen.
Well is an interesting toy I'm sure we'll get tired of it soon and revert back to the keyboard and mouse. After all I am an old timer and I still like the way things were done back in my day. Old dog new trick not today.
