Whenever the car told her that "the door is ajar" she would immediately respond "the door is not a jar, the door is a door." I'm not exactly a Luddite, but I am a "boomer". I avoid voice activated systems when I can, and particularly dislike navigating automated phone answering systems that don't offer a keypad response option.Binocranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817855107504539810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365858055267871677.post-911543269375792052021-02-22T00:35:42.919-05:002021-02-22T00:35:42.919-05:00Open the Pod Bay door, HAL!

Think of an office building with a floor full of people in open cubicles talking to their computer via voice recognition instead of typing. It would just get louder and louder. <br /><br />I have a Roku stick and it keeps giving me onscreen prompts to use voice commands. I say, "why would I want to do that?" I like it quiet in the house. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.com
