Linda was actually second-guessing her decision to buy a new iPhone 4s. Her contract was up and the old phone was starting to have fits, but she could have just gotten a free phone when she signed the new contract. At church this morning, she was using the new phone to take notes during the teaching. By accident, she kept hitting the middle button. The phone has a feature that talks to you called Siri. It has real conversations with you. Like this.... Me: I'm thinking about Tacos for dinner. Phone: What about Taco Bell? Me: No, I want a sit-down restaurant where I can get chips and salsa. Phone: Well then go to Don Pablos. (It doesn't matter where you are, the phone has GPS so it knows all the area restaurants.) OR Me: Darn, I forgot to get dog food while I was at Target. Phone: I will send you a reminder, anything else you need? Anyway, during the teaching her thumb kept hitting the button that activates the voice. It happened not once, but twice! Tierney eventually grabbed the phone from Linda and turned off the feature. When she got home from lunch this afternoon, Linda did an online tutorial to learn how to use the phone so it won't happen again. Wow, the thing
is amazing. Linda can take my picture with the built in camera and it will automatically show up on her laptop. She downloaded an app and heard it upload to her phone at once.. and the phone was in another room! There is even a whole website devoted to crazy Siri questions.
