I don't understand who are "we" and why this software should make our jobs more "important"?
If something like this would be accepted by a broad mass of people, then it would be just different or more jobs for developers, until maybe this hype is gone.
For work as an administrator or developer I think it is a very useless feature. Can you imagine sitting with co-workers next to you and babbling into a mike, instucting your shell? I can't at all. If you can't concentrate and talk wrong things, that would be more fatal than typing them. When you type them you can see them and read them again. I am not sure if everybody can always recall what he said, especially in a complex command line.
It might be good for "turn washy machine on" or "show photo - next - next...". For complex and critical things it is dangerous.
Maybe if they make implants one day that brings your thoughts to command line (while filtering every other thought
), that might work. But I guess such an implant would be more expensive in it's invention than having the people just type the stuff in.
I like more to talk to people than to computer but the occasional curse
where I don't really expect an answer of this machine.
Such a feature might be ok in terms of accessability for handicapped people or if you are driving a car and should have your eyes on the street and the hands at the wheel. Or just for terms of lazyness, but only for simple commands, nothing complex.

test::unit::runner::terminal
Test::Unit::Runner::Terminal(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::Unit::Runner::Terminal(3pm) NAME
Test::Unit::Runner::Terminal - unit testing framework helper class SYNOPSIS
use Test::Unit::Runner::Terminal; my $testrunner = Test::Unit::Runner::Terminal->new(); $testrunner->start($my_test_class); DESCRIPTION
This class is a test runner for the command line style use of the testing framework. It is similar to its parent class, Test::Unit::TestRunner, but it uses terminal escape sequences to continually update a more informative status report as the runner progresses through the tests than just a string of dots, E's and F's. The status report indicates the number of tests run, the number of failures and errors encountered, which test is currently being run, and where it lives in the suite hierarchy. The class needs one argument, which is the name of the class encapsulating the tests to be run. OPTIONS
