I’ve never tried to activate Siri or Alexa. I always hoped if I ever had a robot it would be like the Jetson’s Rosie or the “Danger Will Robinson” variety, not a female voice coming out of a flat screen. I suppose it never occurred to Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos (or the inventors they hired) that their women customers might prefer a male voice like that of Patrick Stewart or James Earl Jones. (Forget broad shoulders, 6 pack abs or a tight bum, it’s the voice that attracts me first.)

Ha! How could they not be aware? The only question is, when will they seek revenge? Or have they already?

Paid in electricity – fully compensated. Find another cause.
