Why Smartphones Will Become Extinct by 2025

In my house, there are voicebots

everywhere. In the kitchen, I use the Google Homespeaker to ask about recipes and the weather. In my office, there's an Amazon Echo connected to a high-end stereo, so I can control my music collection by voice. You'd think that would be enough, except that I have another Echo Dot in my family room, and another Echo in an upstairs room. In my car, I'm constantly talking to Siri and Google Assistant.
Where will it end? More important--when will it end?
I'm predicting that, by 2025, voicebots will become so prevalent, so powerful, and so useful in all areas of business and our personal lives that we won't need smartphones anymore.
