Will voice commands in mobile phone increase importance of domains?

Hi so I've been wondering after next few years one thing is certain 100% accurate voice commands will be used in iphones and androids mobile phones.

I was thinking of a scenario where apps will be bypassed, and you can issue voice commands like "Visit xyz.com" and boom, the website launches along with content or the site's app launches in the mobile phone.

Is reliable voice command feature in mobile phone going to increase the value of domain names again? Right now it seems to be an app world. Some discussion here would be useful to me. Thanks!

Interesting question. At present content drives the web, not domain names, though content linked to a domain known for other content associated/related and authoritative has some value.

I suspect that voice command web searches are something like:

"Widgets"
To which your phone will ask:
"Red or Blue?"
"Red."
"Large or small?"
"Large."
"Handmade or Manufactured?"
"Handmade."
"Under $xxx or over?"
By this time you're getting a bit peeved.
"Give me example.com!"
"Unable to comply. example.com is 13,850,461 entries. Please be more specific."

OR

"Widgets"
"The top response is..."

Don't see domain names in there anywhere. Just me.
