I don't think we can process as much audio information as we can visual - reading is usually faster than listening. Its also harder to scan content when you can only listen. Still, as a software engineer trading in web development there's definitely some cool things I could do with this concept. I think its going to be useful, to what extent I'm unsure.

They use their computer applications, as well as voice models, and logical flow of conversation, in cold calls. This company has technology so advanced that the phone calls they host are impressively life-like - so life-like that most people thought they were talking to another person, not some computer on the other end of the phone. When I realized this was the case, I was absolutely wierded out. On the one hand, I was shocked to know computers can talk like people. On the other hand, I was appalled to realize that they used this advancement to fool people into thinking they were receiving personalized customer care. In short, the company advantageously misled their clients. I don't know what this new HSTP will look like, but I will agree that technology has already superseded our imagination. If we can't wrap our minds around present realities, how in the world are we gonna assimilate amorphous cell-phone calls to websites. Dude. This I know: The interweb? It is crazy.
