Actually, the technology that I feel difficult to use is Siri. It is a program that’in app post software. And I first used it when I was 18 years old. After I taken the college entering exams. My mom’s buy it for me. And actually at first I was very curious about this artificial intelligence programs. And I will ask him a lot of things and he will search for me and give me an uh, official response. And besides he can tell me joke. But overall time I found it less useful. Firstly, if I uh, in a, uh, crowded place, noisy scenes even I hold my phone to my mouth to talk. The sory cannot recognize my voice, which is quite frustrating. And another thing is it cannot help with the accent tones. You know, my par, um, Hontown is Guangzhou. And my parents say are like, ah to say cantones. So they may have a least a little less than standards mandarins but si cannot recognize it. So even when I’trying. I want to askis to call for somebody. Um, I never selden use the s series anymore. So I. So if apples have updates their devices getgates. I wish they can improve sory first.

Actually, the technology I find difficult to use is Siri. It's a voice assistant program built into Apple devices. I first started using it when I was 18 years old, after I took my college entrance exams. My mom bought it for me, and at first, I was very curious about this artificial intelligence program. I would ask it a lot of questions, and it would search for information and give me official responses. It could even tell me jokes. But over time, I found it less useful. Firstly, if I'm in a crowded or noisy place, even if I hold my phone to my mouth to speak, Siri can't recognize my voice, which is quite frustrating. Another issue is that it doesn't handle accents well. You know, my hometown is Guangzhou, and my parents speak Cantonese. So, they have a slightly different accent than standard Mandarin, and Siri can't recognize it. Even when I try to use Siri to call someone, I rarely use it anymore. So, if Apple updates their devices, I wish they could improve Siri first.
