  1. This reminds me of when our long-time admin assistant (retiring Dec 30th, alas), can be convinced to take dictation (she knows shorthand. I am envious).

    When she's taking dictation, people talk to her in exactly the same way as the people in the article talk to their phones. So maybe it's a rather old-fashioned sort of communication, and moved out of the office and into the real world?
