We have had almost speech interfaces on phones for a little while, though the phone doesn't really talk to you. If you hold down the search button on an android phone and then say "Call Mom" it works reasonably well. It also does searches reasonably well but this interface isn't very natural for me. I actually really dislike talking to inanimate objects and on the off chance that I am going to have to repeat myself multiple times and feel like I am a fool talking to plastic in my hands I am even less likely to do so. So speech interfaces need to reach the point where they are basically errorless in recognizing what people have said (which seems like an insanely hard concept) and the public needs to reach the point where talking to computers is normal.
