Nope, we're gonna see massive improvements. With voice recognition in
computers, the lathe of tomorrow will be just like the one's aboard Star Trek:
"Computer, increase speed 10 rpm", "Computer, stop the lathe", etc. No more
reaching across the way to stop a disintegrating bowl.

Of course, the voice recognition module (vrm) will be a bit extra over the
standard price...
