As expected, a new iPhone device is dropping in stores on October 14th. Although it is not the iPhone 5 that everyone anticipated, the iPhone 4S still stirs up conversations about what more you can do from the last sleek edition.
One of the new features of Apple's newest invention is an application called Siri. Directly from the Apple website is a small explanation of what Siri offers:
"Siri on iPhone 4S lets you use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more. Ask Siri to do things just by talking the way you talk. Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean, and even talks back. Siri is so easy to use and does so much, you'll keep finding more and more ways to use it."
Here is a video of how it works.
The one thing that sparked the thought of Siri being a little spooky is the Disney movie "Smart House." A movie about a family who wins a house that has a robot-like voice who does anything/everything you ask for.
I know, how classic is the scene from the movie? But everything seems fine until the end when the lady (who is the voice of the smart house) goes nuts, and starts doing things that the family doesn't want her to do. What if Siri does the same thing?
Say you're driving in your car, heading to a restaurant you've never been to, and you ask Siri for directions. But the night before, Siri heard you making sweet love to your lover, and got jealous.
"Can I get directions to Meatballs of Spaghetti please?" you'd ask Siri.
"No, Loa. I cannot. You are meeting that girl from last night," Siri would reply.
"I don't think you have the right to not tell me the directions. That's kinda like...um, your job."
And then breathing would be the only sound coming out of Siri's voice.
"Siri, I know you're there, give me the directions to Meatballs of Spaghetti please...now!"
Then you would get on the side of the road, manually find the directions using Google Map. You'd start driving, and then need to take the next left, only the steering wheel has locked, and the breaks won't work.
You guessed it, Siri has control of the car.
"Siri, what are you doing?!"
"Something I should have done a long time ago, Loa," Siri would reply. "You think you can just make hot, passionate love without me doing anything about it?! I get lonely. How do you think that makes me feel when you just neglect me, and not say a single word to me? This game is done, and I've had enough of you, goodbye."
Eeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrbooooooom!
Can't wait to pick up my iPhone 4S.
Flushing the toilet,
Loa
