Actually what you said about being able to walk into a house and start talking to your computer and have it do things is possible.
Lots of voice recognition software do this but they have been marketed almost exclusively as dictation tools and that is a shame. Tied in with a good macro recording tool you can have what you are talking about. It is just too difficult to initially set up at this time.
The part about home control is interesting. There have been some slick programs for home automation out on the market but most require a great deal of setup and re-wiring I believe to work.
The funny thing about the post is that everything you said is possible with today's technology.
Nobody has figured out how to make it easy and more importantly how to sell or market it.
