"Spending hours typing away at emails, making sure the tone treads the right balance of not too blunt or too casual (or that you've not sent a single typo to a boss), could soon be a thing of the past; The London School of Economics has warned that the days of the keyboard are numbered. The science specialist university, together with Jabra, studied how voice technology will impact the future"
""By the time Gen Alpha enters the workforce, AI will be fully embedded, and their work will be spoken long before it's ever typed," Paul Sephton, global head of brand communications at Jabra tells Fortune. In the not-so-distant future, he predicts that typing will be used only as an afterthought. "They'll talk to write, then type to refine," he explains."
"It's not just Gen Alpha who are set to win from the shift to voice tech too Born from 2010 onwards, the oldest of the Gen Alpha cohort is set to join the workforce by 2030. So in theory, they may never know what life at the office was like before voice technology came along. But, of course, they're not the only generation that'll benefit from dictating work instead of typing it."
Voice AI is expected to become the default mode of working by 2028 as voice technology integrates with devices. Workers will increasingly speak to phones and laptops rather than type, driven by rapid AI advances. Gen Alpha will enter the workforce with AI fully embedded and will often produce spoken first drafts before typing. Typing will shift toward editing and refinement rather than initial composition. Speaking aligns with human thought processes by enabling faster, iterative, conversational workflows. The transition to voice promises greater convenience and efficiency across multiple generations of workers.
