Stamp collectors may come across as being from another planet. Collecting stamps is a strange, obsessive hobby. That is until you’re at a stamp convention with hundreds of collectors, at which point these other-planetary beings show that they’re a part of an entire universe. A universe where their odd ideas are actually quite prescient. A universe where their hobby isn’t on the fringe of normalcy… It is normalcy.

Voice interfaces are on par with stamp collecting. To the average consumer a voice assistant is a thing that sometimes answers my questions, mostly sits on my kitchen counter, and is there to turn on my music when I want it to.
