El Reg reports on upcoming keyboard ideas from Toshiba:
Toshiba USA has revealed that it will add a key dedicated to summoning Cortana, Windows 10's digital assistant.
Toshiba's Jeff Barney, the company's veep and GM for all things PC in North America, says the new button will appear on every keyboard the company sells.
PCWorld reports that "the key will sit in the upper left area, near the function keys".
A quick glance at the many keyboards in Vulture Souths eyrie suggests that this means the ESC key is in peril.

I use Android's voice control for a few actions like setting a quick alarm to wake me up from a nap, and a few other things. On occasion I've used it recently to do a quick response using my smart watch when I don't feel like pulling my phone out. In general, I find that when doing something by voice is much faster than doing it directly you need to work on your direct interface, although there are probably some exceptions.

A command line does not even remotely make you a Luddite. It's by far the fasted way of doing many (not all) operations. Just the ability to use regular expression gives a huge boost, and when you throw command history, variables, etc in, it can't be beat.
