The disappointing thing about the article is that he finishes with a 
comment that's both a non sequitur and idiotic:

 >Meanwhile, I have been thinking the opposite: that tech really has to 
get a lot better, so that voice commands, or even thought commands, can 
override our inherent bent for sloppiness.

(And, by the way, just to add to the murk, the German for Rome is Rom).
