Farm Chores: Siri’s First Photo

Farm Photos

I took out my new Iphone 5 this morning and pushed a button for Siri, the voice recognition program and digital assistant. “Siri,” I said, bring up the camera, and the Iphone camera appeared, and I took this photo of Maria as we began our morning farm chores. I appreciated not having to fumble around in the glare for the camera icon and the shutter icon. I like the photo to, good color. The camera is not nearly as good as my Canon but it is good. I am not seeing Siri as fun or cute, really, just helpful. It makes use of the small device easier and faster, and I will be using the phone more and the Ipad less. So far, I have asked a dozen things of her and she has executed all of them accurately and quickly. She has texted five messages, made five calls, set up some photos, guided me to several different locations on the GPS/Map program.
