Siri, Cortana and Alexa populate in our phones, computers and now our homes. Their features help us keep track of our daily lives by remembering conferences, doctor/dentist appointments, special days such as date nights, anniversaries, and even birthdays, when a project or homework is due, isn't that convenient, a little too convenient? These digital assistants are just starting to immerse themselves sometimes very stealthy, overtly, and maybe just a tad bit creepily into the rhythm of our everyday lives. As they continue getting updates every now and then they begin to grow smarter and more capable, by eventually surprising us by making our lives easier and will eventually have us relying on them all them time. There are still quite a bit of people who still refer to these digital assistants as novelties, but they are creepily working their way up to becoming our primary gateway to an easier everyday life by accessing all sorts of goods such as getting public transportation, knowing how the weather is going to be, and accessing information on the internet. So bid farewell to web browsers as our default gateway to the internet, and say hello to the new intelligent assistants that are now rising up to replace them.
No seriously say "Hello",

I actually agree that it's a little too convenient. Maybe the movie Wall-E could be a prophecy. We'll all get fat and gross and depend on our A.I. friends to help us out on a day to day basis. Maybe they'll kill us and take over the earth because humans were too stupid to notice the signs. It's just too easy to not get up and reach for the remote. Just get the new Siri to do it for you.
