Today
Asha and I were at the beginning of our journey to the mall. Should
we have been going to a crowded place in these days of the pandemic?
Well, that is another question. Anyway, I was waiting outside our
apartment block for her and time was progressing so I decided to call
her. No answer. Again, no answer. When we did speak, she told me the
reason for non-communication was that her new, top of the range
iPhone 11 did not recognise her, and she had forgotten the passcode.
The reason it didn’t recognise her was because she was wearing a
mask.
So
where was Siri, you might ask? Why was not possible to say to Siri –
hey Siri, why doesn’t the phone recognise me? And why isn’t the phone clever enough
to recognise its owner when they are wearing a mask? Charlie, our
averagely intelligent Cavalier King Charles spaniel can.
