Siri, the new voice recognition technology from Apple, has resulted in a significant fundamental change in the way we interact with digital devices such as computers, as well as with each other, to a certain extent.
Apple, under Eric Schmidt, has recognized that there will soon be a time when we will no longer need to type things into a query box and search through a long line of results that potentially contain what is sought. Technology like Siri will also help to ensure that computer users won’t need to continually provide re-identification and re-enter their credentials with each online purchase that they make.
Siri technology has brought about the start of a much more personalized experience on the computer through intelligent data and artificial intelligence systems integration into computer devices such as tablets and smartphones. Many experts are predicting that it won’t be too many years before an individual will simply require a mobile device such as those in order to be able to function properly in society.
Siri is already providing the ability to perform very basic and inane tasks. It allows the user to speak a very basic instruction into the device, such as requesting the name of a contact stored in the device. Other tasks are also possible, such as setting alarms, creating reminders, adding meetings to a schedule, checking the weather, checking email, and performing a basic search on the internet.
Messages can also be sent to others in text by speaking the words into Siri. This is the technology that could change the way we communicate with one another.
