Siri

Siri. The intelligent assistant that helps you get
things done. All you have to do is ask.

I, like several others, found myself skeptical about the practical everday uses of Siri, Apple‘s new voice command assistant that’s built into the new iPhone 4S. People are adverse to voice command utilities because they always seem to be more trouble then they are worth. However, I believe that, with a proper implementation, Siri can be of use to the everday user. I immediately thought about my Mom, and how perfect such a tool would be for a user like her. She knows how to complete the majority of tasks on her iPhone, but there are several features she doesn’t use to their fullest capability. Siri could assist her in accomplishing those tasks. It will be interesting to see how it’s used, as well as how it develops over time. Apple knows what they’re doing, so I’m sure it will grow into a seamless part of their product.
