These distinctions (humans, animals, machines) are artificial and not 
helpful (also a slippery slope - the end game in that direction is 
racism/identity politics.)
Speech is most likely a mutation only 50,000 years old (we didn't get 
quite used to it yet.) The difference between the speech technology and 
machine-mediated communications is centralization of the latter 
(everyone controls own speech apparatus, electronic communications are 
controlled by what - 20-30 people grand total?)
The centralization is the only troublesome aspect of machines, and it 
needs to be fixed. The rest is fine.
