    Re: people can talk to their computer to give commands

    His claim was that it would be typical, not that it was possible. If you use your definition, it’s a fail because Dragon Dictate was out in 1997. My Philips Nino from 1998 had voice recognition.

    Claiming already existing technology will be invented in the future isn’t a prediction. Voice input still isn’t the dominant method of data input today.

      So I was going off of your claim, you wrote " people can talk to their computer to give commands".

      The modern version where you can do that was developed in the 2000s, so …

        Dragon Dictate and voice commands in the Philips Nino were from 1997 and 1998 respectively.

        Fail.

          Not to control everything on the computer like in the 2k.

              I get it.

              You hate accurate dates.

                  Here’s an example of a prediction, since you’re having so much trouble.

                  “Multiple electric cars with airless tires will be sold commercially by 2035”.

                  See that?

                  It’s a scenario that doesn’t exist yet that we are pre-dic-ting (imagining the future!) will happen later on.
