Voice Activated Apps

(slide 99 from JWT: 100 things to watch in 2011)

The new technology that is being created is becoming increasingly advanced. Voice Activated Apps is an example of this.

Some smartphones are creating apps which will enable us to talk into them and the app will listen to your voice. It allows a person to control their phone without putting much effort in at all.

It is also a way to help the safety of people who are using their phones while driving, walking or riding a bike. They do not have to use their eyes and hands, so they are aware of what is happening around them.

I think that apps like these will increase the amount of buyers, enabling the technology to advance even more. It will be very useful and doesn't allow a lot of concentration. Also, I think that the range of things that one could do with this is huge. You could phone someone or you could get your phone to add a contact. Its really creative.
