Nevertheless, what else can be used for information delivery and reception in very small devices? A wrist watch sized device is sort of silly if you have to carry around a keyboard to use it. You might just as well integrate the device into the keyboard. Though speech is very complex, it does have rules so eventually it can be computerized. The human brain is unique amongst primates in having relatively large areas devoted to speech, and I have always felt that computing and/or communication devices will have to eventually be built around the strengths of the human brain, because it's easier to change the devices than the brain.
