Forget apps…here comes the voice-controlled future

Soon, we won’t be fumbling around with a gazillion different apps, trying to figure out which one turns off the sprinklers in the front yard... Apple Siri, Amazon Echo and now Google Home all point to the future of digital living.  When it comes to voice plus smart machines vs. finger taps on a phone, voice wins, hands down.  You don’t want to use a weather app, you just want the forecast.  Your customers won’t go to your website and download an app; they’ll interact with your business in some way by voice.  That future will arrive in the next five to 10 years.  Will your business be ready?
