Can you imagine how awful open plan offices would be if everyone was talking to their computer!
Similarly how odd it would be to be in a closed office talking to a computer… at least until we got to startrek levels of AI.
Finally, in my experience, I cannot talk and perform complex thinking at the same time.
I can type and mouse around and stay on a flow state, where I can hold a conceptual model of something in my head and write code for it. But as soon as I begin talking that flow state begins to decay. The longer I talk the harder it is to get back into that state.
I’m happy to ask my phone questions in other circumstances, but I don’t feel it’s something I need on my computer.

Happy for history to prove me wrong!
