The paradigm shift is determined by market forces, as we are using the smartphone and smart devices on a daily basis of our life, the shift of search towards voice is not something come as a surprise and the trend will only get more intense. As we are using Virtual & Personal Assistant like iPhone Siri, Google Assistant and Microsoft Cortana on a daily basis, you can expect search will get better over time.
