What do you think of my voice typing reference? ... is it not a good analogy? ... i’m serious, I could be way off.

It's actually way off :)

Voice typing is not a case of computers replacing people at a particular task. Instead, voice "typing" involves a change in method from typing to speaking (in other words, the computer is not "typing" for us -- instead, it is allowing us to speak rather than type). There were several big studies about why this never really took off as expected, but the biggest was that people are more efficient writers when they type, relative to their efficiency when speaking.

The question isn't "are computers more efficient typers?" The question is: are people more efficient when typing or speaking.
