Siri and the future of scripters, and people like us...

I think with the increasing use of things like siri and dragonspeak that have not only the ability to convert what you say into text but also act on it, we are entering an age of computing when the average user will just tell their computer what they want to do and the computer will do it for them. This is a good thing for streamlining and making computers accessible to everyone. However I do think that this will mean less of "us" in favor of GUI users, and will also make our jobs more important.
If anyone has any thoughts on this or the whole "talking to your computer" thing that would be awesome.
