I think there's a difference between "embracing" new technology and "accepting" it. There are some things I embraced: ereaders, mp3 players, etc - because they were of benefit to me (not having to carry all those CDs and books around).
Other things I accepted: flat tvs - I didn't buy one until my old tv died because there was no benefit to do so;
I see voice activated things as in the accepting category. There is no benefit to me for telling the tv to turn on, when I can push a button to do it.
Now if I could say "dump the black and grey tanks" and it hooked up the hoses and dumped into the sewer without my having to lift a finger, well then I would embrace it.
