now we are talking 2017-1.17

1.Any sufficiently advanced technology is distinguishable from magic

---

3.even before Christmas it was already resident in about 4% of American household

---

4.This is a huge shift.simple though it may seem,voice has the power to transform conputing,by providing a natural means of interaction

---

5.Just as mobile phones were more than existing phones without wires,and cars were more than carriages without horse,so computers without screens and keyboards have the potential to be more useful ,powerful and ubiquitous than people can imagine today.

---

6.But the voice is detined to account for a growing share of people’s interaction with the technology around them.

---

7.However,to reach its full potential,the technology requires further break throughs and a resolution of the tricky questions it raises around the trade-off between convenience and privacy.

---

8.Thanks to deep learning l,machines now nearly equal humans in transcription rapidly and text to speech systems are becoming less robotic and,more natural -sounding.

---

9.That is the most difficult aspect of the problem and,if voice-driven computing is truly to flourish,one that must be overcome.

---

10。Even in its current,relatively primitive form,the technology poses a dilemma: voice-driven systems are the most useful when they are personalized and are granted wide access to sources of data such as calendars,e-mails and other sensetive information. That raises privacy and security concerns.

---

11. Both cases highlight the need for rules that specify when and what intrusions into personal privacy are justified in the interests of securiry.
