I still remember my dad’s old office number. Melrose (ME)4-3245. Back then you could just dial 0 and say it to an operator.
Today, I don’t know anyone’s number(I still remember the old out of service/reassigned numbers). I can just hit and hold home on the iPhone, and voice control comes up, and you tell it to call John Doe mobile, and it does.
It’s a blessing and a curse. But it works, and quite well.
I just tried that on my new android phone and it works that way as well ... I had no clue. My smart phone is waaaaaaaaay smarter than its owner. A couple of days ago I figured out that I can speak my text messages and it types them for me ... whoa!
