Aging in Place Technology Watch Announces New Report: The Future of Voice First Technology and Older Adults 2018
PORT SAINT LUCIE, Fla. (PRWEB) February 16, 2018 -- Many technologies designed to improve the lives of consumers over the past several decades have emerged and disappeared, bypassing older adults or being adopted late in the market’s lifecycle. The evolution of Natural Language Processing (NLP), combined with progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning are poised to break this pattern. Voice First technology -- speaking, versus typing, as the primary user experience -- is a disruptive advance in technology, akin to the changes brought by the introduction of the Internet and cell phones.
The Future of Voice First Technology and Older Adults 2018 can be found on the Aging in Place Technology Watch website.
