Voice is an interface. AI assistants like Alexa are a platform. Voice to AI assistants is akin to touch screens to smartphones. They can be independent of each other, but they work better together. Saying voice is a platform shift is confusing because it’s just the interface.

Easy to understand. Just watch kids. Jan's right, behavior shift. All cloud native apps will need to be refactored for Voice User Interface. Platforms like Pivotal will need to upgrade or be obsolete. So I do see it as a platform shift, too. PaaS is so Passe though.

Gentlemen, I hear ya. This is true in the short term. However just like 1976 and what we thought was a PC it is hard for some to perceive how

We have assumed that the 1890s invented QWERTY keyboard will be fundamental to the future but as highly contextual true #VoiceFirst assistants arrive we will do 90% less on the computer as the #VoiceFirst assistants do the work for us. We will still have screens just used less.
