It's a temporary warp in userspace. Text is like going backward from broadband to a 1400 baud modem. Voice communicates so much more. So that will change as the user base ages. Seen many skateboards lately?

Voice expresses more emotion, but it will never be able to match text in raw consumption speed.

Instead, I'll bet that voice transcription picks up. People who prefer text will be able to get it from a voice transcription.
