An entire generation of kids are growing up in an age where conversational technology is the norm, and this will have major implications for the future. When my mother sees me using a smart speaker, even for mundane use cases like turning on the living room light, a flash of surprise comes across her face. She can't believe that conversational computing is a thing, despite the fact that I work in the field and many of her Boomer friends are avid voice users. But when my two-year-old daughter sees me casually speak with inanimate objects--which appear to understand me, talk back and do my bidding--she's not impressed. It's perfectly normal to her, far more normal than seeing me use that strange rectangular contraption with dozens of buttons that controls what's on that big screen on the wall.
