While it’s sadly premature to say that the survey took place at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic (though we can all hope), it took place at a time when restrictions were loosening: we were starting to go out in public, have parties, and in some cases even attend in-person conferences. Salaries were lower regardless of education or job title.

The challenge was that technology wasn't capable of processing real human conversation. Using your voice is powerful because it's spontaneous, intuitive, and enables you to interact with technology in the most natural way possible. Conversations are personal and they convey context, which helps us to understand each other.
