I'm just trying to think of any scenario in which it would even make sense for someone to use a voice-activated computer to send a telegram.

Okay, I'm sure you can contrive something in some sort of mad cyber-cliffhanger-punk techno-crossover universe, but then common sense and vaguely realistic timelines don't even come into it there.


2023-08-26 Rerun commentary: On the other hand, of course, it's perfectly reasonable to use a voice-activated computer to initiate a Zen pogrom.
