One bad experience: tried several times while driving to call a Huck Finn Restaurant but was frustrated by Siri's repeated denials of relevant information. Finally figured out that Siri didn't understand "Huckleberry Finn Restaurant."<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-39819662526522561602018-10-11T10:07:00.901-05:002018-10-11T10:07:00.901-05:00The funny thing about technology outrunning cultur...The funny thing about technology outrunning culture is that we sometimes get lapped, where it feels like we're at the same place. Not only are we not "dialing" phones anymore, some of us aren't even punching in the number - we just pick up the phone and tell Siri to call someone, just like back in the days before the human switchboard operators were displaced by dial phones.kganderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005895232135682751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-11259162548826250352018-10-11T09:01:10.509-05:002018-10-11T09:01:10.509-05:00"No man but a blockhead ever wrote except to ..."No man but a blockhead ever wrote except to be paid for it."
