You talkin' to me?


Sometimes we get much more attention than we actually want. It can get to the point where we want to shout at our personal computerized valet to simply shut up and leave us alone. Many years ago my mother encountered a similar sort of problem when (if I recall correctly) she drove my brother's father-in-law's (then) new car. When she sat down in the driver's seat a voice called out "have you fastened your seat belt?", and she looked around, trying to figure out who was speaking to her. When she finally realized that the voice was coming from the car, she declared that she had no interest in a car that could talk.
