Siri and The Parent Test
My mom, in a recent email:
btw, we both used Siri for the first time last night. I asked it today what time the post office closed;). It didn’t know, and apologized.
The fact that my parents are using ‘btw’ is big. The fact that they finally bought iPhones (their first non-clamshell feature phone) is huge. The fact that they’re using Siri and then emailing me about it is remarkable.
In my book, Apple, its iPhone, and Siri have successfully passed the Parent Test. The iPad did last year. You know what never did? My Droid, my Gateway, or my Linksys router.
