Will touchscreens be replaced by robots' voice interaction capabilities?

The interaction between humans and machines has gone through several stages: from the initial keyboard, to the introduction of the mouse, then from keyboards and mice to touchscreens, and now from touchscreens to the latest voice interaction. These are successive innovations that have gradually increased emotional connections and brought the interacting parties closer together. Human-to-human interaction is mostly based on voice interaction. The evolution of human-machine interaction methods is increasingly an ideal way to achieve this.

The development of human-computer interaction technology has accelerated the rise of related industries. For example, the rapid development of smart home appliances makes voice interaction seem quite intelligent. Voice interaction is gradually becoming an increasingly popular way of human-computer interaction. With the development of natural language processing and speech recognition, whether it's commercial robots or household robots, voice interaction seems to have become a standard feature. When you interact with machines using voice, it certainly feels more in line with human nature than other interaction methods such as keyboards and mice; then is voice interaction the most ideal?

Many people are optimistic about voice interaction, and the relationship between human-computer interaction methods is a sequential replacement. Touch screens cannot replace keyboards and mice, and voice interaction will not replace touch screens either. It's not about which one is ideal, but rather which one is more ideal. Technology should be centered around humans, and the ideal implementation should revolve around various human senses and cater to the physiological conditions of specific users.

Compared to the previous two generations of interaction methods, voice recognition technology is indeed the most advanced and human-like intimate interaction method. It is different from the cold feeling of keyboards and mice, and also different from the rigid and unfriendly touch interaction. Voice interaction itself is an interactive experience based on body language, emotion, information, and scene. However, precisely because of this, simply giving orders is certainly not the ultimate goal of voice interaction. True interaction is even better.

Therefore, voice interaction features still have some distance to develop.
