Methinks you should watch Star Trek more. They rarely use the speech
systems to do anything of importance: usually to get data or act on
data, but never to control any of the ship's functions.

"Red Alert!" or "Get me all the data concerning Species 8472" is as far
as it gets.

Methinks you should watch Live & Kicking next time it's on, and see how
difficult that really would be ;)

Thanks
