My phone takes the liberty of turning down my headphones for me when it thinks I’ve been listening to too much good time loud music, it does miff me so when I’m in the middle of air drumming and taking a solo and the imagined crowd I’m playing to are in eurphoric state and in awe at my skills, is this the kind of nanny state we want to live in now or does technology have every right to curb those fleeting moments of joy we cling to in this largely humdrum Existence ?! |

Because the technology would like you to converse with nature and the world around you. It's only putting itself to the fullest possible use, which is all It thinks that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. |

"Alexa has a bad attitude and pretends she can't understand me.
Cow  "
When the machines finally take over, it will partly be because you've spoken to them like this. |

Siri told me off for swearing once...
The headphone thing, it's not so much nanny state as litigation state... They can control your volume, so if they don't they could be sued for your hearing loss... |

Mine doesn't... it goads me to do it, and has the local funeral director on speed dial if it goes wrong. |

Think of the song with the greatest drum solo of all time, one that could stop a bulldozer in its tracks. |

I soo agree with this, my phone did this to me the other day and told me I was playing my music too loud! Really don’t fancy being told by my phone what I should or shouldn’t do! Surely it’s my own choice?! Freya x |

Always wondered what that song was about. |

By preventing Phil Collins wannabees from making a tit out of themselves, this new technology might also be regarded as a very intelligent and welcome addition to our modern lives.  |

I’m shocked and appalled you presume it was ‘in the air tonight’.
