Saying "OK Google!" in public.

It is all too serious though

I can remember early SIRI where it answered anything!

Asking SIRI where should I bury my spouse.... used to have a joke answer about "What kind of place are you looking for" and a list offering reservoirs, quarries etc

Then it was discovered that someone had actually used this to get rid of a room mate!

The answer is no longer available

Anyone talking to a machine in public needs a dry slap. I've 'deliberately ditched carrying a smartphone (I've an old fashioned dumb phone for when I'm on the Search and Rescue callout Rota) and it's incredibly liberating, like giving up smoking.
 
Many years ago there were adventure games on the Spectrum and some were more fun than others

It was mainly text .. when you got bored you would play with the responses... most simply came back with the command line, or " I did not understand", but a couple were deeper
I remember a Robin Hood one where if you typed in "Have Sex with Marian" in various forms it would come back with a romantic seduction culminating with "you then incur a painful injury as you sprain yourself against her chastity belt"

... and of course there was also the classic "Leather Goddesses of Phobos" where you could select three levels of naughtiness

The sense of humour was brilliant... and for the youngsters, this was the epitome of adventure games at the time

And it's much faster sending texts if you can dictate them and you don't use my one thumbed typing technique . :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
just the right index finger when i text, makes me look a bit silly being 16 and swearing at a nokia brick whilst poking it!

Plenty of text adventures out there, including the classic Colossal Cave. Just google.
