Which is most important? (Score 1)

Now I'm curious, what matters more to people, handwriting or voice recognition?

Well, to me it would be which is the most efficient. I know I can certainly type faster than I can write, so I would choose typing over handwriting.

Voice recognition would me much more usefull in situations where the hands are needed to control delicate things that only the trained motor skills of a human could do the job (fighter pilot, surgeon) to control things such as providing the right tool or weapons control.

So I would rank the three options in this order:

1. Voice
2. Typing
3. Handwriting

However I have left one option out, thought control (You know what I mean). The reason I left this out is because I think it is such a long way of. Sure we can train rats to think about pulling levers, but it is a long way before we can create machines that could understand the brain patters. It must be even more complex than voice recognition...
