DOES. NOT. COMPUTE.
I spent a good chunk of the afternoon rigging several smartphones for voice recognition. Man oh man. It's total Star Trek stuff. I half-expected Captain James T. Kirk to show up and cause the computers to self-destruct with a logical paradox.*

Still, we're not quite there yet. Y'know how on Star Trek, the characters could say something like "Computer! Reverse the modular polarity!"** and the computer would know exactly what they were talking about? This doesn't happen in the 21st century.  You'll say "Computer! Open Internet Explorer!" ***, and the smartphone will think about it, and say "Now calling Ibn Ternet Al-Lorer".

Kirk might have been on to something there.

*Apparently even godlike 23rd century AIs have the Blue Screen of Death.

**Reversing the polarity is the Star Trek equivalent of rebooting your computer. It fixes everything!

***Really, they should be using Firefox. Not Foxfire!
