> When listening to an audio book I can do many other things like study for an exam or program.

I see no reason why, given enough work, a sufficient audio-interfaced IDE cannot be created. I think that is the way we should go. A real AI tied to a speach processor and a polog-like system would be the best UX for programming possible.

Think of Star Trek, "Computer, do X, Y, Z and then run that program".

I definetly don't think text is the best interface with a computer or any system for that matter. That's why I'm saying what I'm saying.

And for now, we're talking about telling the time, not expressing a perfect proof for infinitly complex ideas. I think Siri is good enough for that query as it stands.
