Siri : The Intelligent Personal Assistant

When the iPhone 4S was released, the phone came with Siri, a personal assistant that can do what you tell it to do. Having all these cool capabilities on the iPhone gives everyone more reasons to own one.

When Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone at the Macworld convention in January of 2007, a tidal change in the way users communicate with one another was unleashed. The phone, which combined the already popular attributes of an iPod with the traditional cell phone, was an instant success, selling millions of units even at the initially haughty price of $599 each (Vogelstein, 2008). The theory behind the creation of the phone was deceptively simple: combine an MP3 player with a Blackberry, camera, and regular cell phone operating on a sleek touch-screen controlled software system. Consumers were finally freed from carrying separate devices to perform all they tasks they now wanted to away from home. In one simple hand-held device they could take pictures, listen to music, play games, communicate with friends and family, and even surf the Internet. This one device changed the way that people began sharing information, allowing them to instantly access information anywhere in the world while also transmitting it just as quickly. The iPhone is now universally recognized and has become a cultural artifact in our times.

In “To Siri, with Love,” Newman argues that Siri is not only a program that helps us emotionally but she is a friend. Also, she points out that Siri provides learning chances for people with their requirements, like autistic children. She said “When we try to ask Siri, she always has terrific responses, which make the asker happy.” According to Newman, Siri helps her son, Gus, who talks to Siri various type of conversation such as thunderstorm conversation and marriage conversation.

Gus’s interactions with Siri shows just how important technology can be in learning. To Gus, Siri is not just something that “finds information on his various

As I read through “A Logic Named Joe,” I kept thinking about asking Siri questions. It is remarkable how the story was written and its accuracy to today’s technology. The logics were all one big network just as we now have the internet which is a network of computers providing information to users as they type into a search engine. The part where the writer describes Joe as not being vicious like those robots that want to destroy the human race is interesting. In fact, Joe, computers, are not vicious they cannot differentiate right from wrong. You ask a question and it gives an answer, how you choose to use that information as an individual who can select right and wrong is the difference. What stood out for me was the use of technology for

Society today is greatly influenced by technology and the impact it has had within the past 20 years. One of the largest breakthroughs, though, is Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). The technology associated with A.I. has greatly developed in the past years, and is only making devices smarter. When someone mentions technology, or even the technological breakthroughs the world has gone through recently, many people go straight to smartphones and computers. A.I. is often overlooked, or put into a general category of "technology". Yet, artificial intelligence is something that should we not be so quick to dismiss, and should be something that gets people talking and even excited for what the future holds.

Apple’s iPhones have captured the hand of many people in today's society. Smartphones these days never leave the sight of their owners; they are used for every purpose imaginable. From researching topics to even playing Angry Birds, iPhones have a use for everyone. In Apple’s commercial they depict the Cookie Monster baking some cookies.The Cookie Monster shows us how easy it is to use the timer on his iPhone with the hands-free, voice detecting Siri application. The creators of this commercial use humor, simplicity, memories, and a famous hobby to drive their point about how the Apple Iphone has a use for everyone of all ages.

The launch of the iPhone in 2007 transformed the humble mobile phone from a one-trick tool for communication into a catch-all platform whose functionality is constantly evolving. The smartphone … is now a pocket-size PC,” the editors wrote. “It facilitates instantaneous personal connections that make phone

“In 2011, 92.8 million people in the U.S. used smartphones. By 2015, 190.5 million people used smartphones” (Holt, 2016). This new technology has vastly spread throughout the world and has improved the way Americans live their lives. Cell phones have given smartphone users numerous advantages, such as connecting the world, and enabling their multitasking skills. The usage of cell phones has gone to users heads as they have become addicted to their screens.

.. However, I can't remember all that we talk about in any descriptive details, as we briefly covers other interesting topics such as, people being really chained to their smartphones everywhere they go & the changing advancing world of computer technologies & their various usages, etc..

Introduction: With the advancement of our technology, calling or texting had been easier and had become part of our life. However, this convenience had a serious hidden consequence that most don’t foresee.

Nowadays, technology is speeding our way of communication and the way in which we handle our personal lives. Zdziarski (2008) described, “How the iPhone has quickly become a market leader in technology and has been a big success around the world” (preface.iX). The iPhone has become a very useful tool in many aspects of people lives. However, people should be aware that this device can store a great amount of data in its memory and that if you ever lost or had it stolen all off your personal and professional information can be available to whoever has it in their hand.

At first, I was going to analyze and write about smartphones, however I found it more efficient to write also about a particular smartphone to narrow it down from such a broad technological artifact, such as answering who designed it, what for, what their position and the impact they want to have on society was, and their future visions. Therefore, I chose the iPhone as the centerpiece of smartphones I will be analyzing and an emphasis on applications. However, some of this information is relevant and interchangeable to all other smartphones. IPhones and smartphones allow us to access constant information and offer it the way we want it, as it is completely customizable now to fit our learning style. They keep us organized, send information to us in different ways, even shape and offer solutions such as for politics, economies, problems whether individual ones or globally. Smartphones capitalize on shared knowledge and has opened the door to inventors and those who have the knowledge to make our world a more connected place and lives easier by sharing it with us to use. We are able to communicate with other people far off, through space-time compression or shrinking-space to gather news and information.

Background and Audience Relevance: We do almost everything on our mobile devices. From taking photos, viewing important messages, browsing the internet, to even communicating around the world, they have become essential to our society today.
