Transcript:
Arlo: When you sent me the text asking me to pick up something on the way home...
Arlo: Were you using that voice-recognition app?
Janis: Yes, why?
Arlo: I just had a feeling I should ask!
Instead of using voice-to-text apps for texting, wouldn’t it be cool if somebody invented a device where you could just talk into it, and the person at the other end could hear your voice? And then they could instantly talk back to you, and you would hear them, in their own voice? That would be so awesome!
Reminds me of the story in which a woman texted her boy friend that she was “so gonna jump him” when she got home from work. He replied that he agreed it was time to split up. The app changed “jump” to “dump”. Awkward.
kerumbo: Maybe after they invent that, someone could create a cable channel that shows nothing but music videos. They could even have another one that shows older videos.
When my sister had ALS, she had a typewriter sort of thing that would try to complete words for her. She wanted me to bring her something from Panera, and it kept writing “panties”.

The cartoon has the same limitation as one trying to describe the DYAC.com website to someone who does not know about smartphones.
