We've come a long way from my childhood days of playing telephone with tin cans, and walkie talkie conversations.
Today we can do so much with our smart phones. And now with the iPhone 4S, we can have our own personal assistants. Siri voice recognition is like a virtual secretary. The only thing missing is the short skirts and high heels. Of course, there probably will be an app for that soon. We will be able to create our own virtual secretary complete with a wardrobe and sexy voice!
But today's version can take dictation, check your calendar, schedule appointments, read text messages, check stock quotes, and even find a nearby restaurant.
You can talk to Siri with your own voice. You don't have to use simple commands. This is a highly educated, right out of Silicon Valley, secretary!
I wonder what will be next. Will the phone be able to react to the tone of our voice? Will it be able to suggest a massage when it hears tension in our voice? Will it suggest a trip to the casino when it hears confidence and a winning attitude? Will it tell us to go to bed when it hears pure exhaustion?
The possibilities seem endless.
I'm going to go practice my Siri voices.
