I agree, and I'm very glad that Google Now is doing the latter. I have no desire to interact with my phone by voice and honestly, every time I've tried it I've been deeply underwhelmed.

Presenting cards/notifications about something before I ask for it will always be a superior interface to one that requires you to act, IMO.
