Yeah, I've struggled with Siri for about 7 years and gave up.
The 2 things making me confident about the increasing use of verbal control is that the technology will continue to to improve, especially in the rise of AI, and our youth will be accustomed to talking to appliances.
My age probably hinders my effort to leverage voice control, but my 2 year old tells Google to do things. Language is simply the more natural and universal method of input.
Operating manual controls on a vehicle requires enough time fumbling to develop muscle memory, but speech has no such learning curve (in theory).
... the first voice control I can remember was some sort of headset that I could push a button and tell it who to call. I would say "call Mom" and it would say "ok, calling your ex girlfriend". "No, call Mom". "ok, calling John Smith"... they only guarantee was that it would not call the person you say.
