Exactly! More importantly, those who can't spell yet.
A year ago I showed my kid (then 5) Google voice search on iPad. Her eyes lit up and off she went on Youtube and later Google search itself... First obscure animals - obscure to me, but apparently mentioned on 'Wild Kratz' and other animal shows - Then stuff she heard about on'Magic Schoolbus' and Brainpop.
Judging from what she's been showing me, it works for song titles and lyrics as well, and she loves the voice search interface on our Amazon FireTV as well.
As a result, I find myself using it more often. I love it on the FireTV. If I had a single button for picture search on my Sammy, like the Amazon Fire Phone has, I'd use that too.
I will show her picture search tomorrow. Can't believe I forgot that.
Edit: after reading the article, one more important group comes to mind: those for whom English is not their first language. Calling my parents tomorrow.
So after a less than 5 year old grows up, why would they switch to a more antiquated form of search? They now have a level of expectation that voice search works and when it doesn't the software sucks.

A lot of skepticism but I can say that children who are less than 5 (don't read/write) are the main target for this kind of search.

Why more antiquated?
