Engaged via text message???

Liz Rizzo — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 00:36:03 -0500

Wow.

I love text messages, but I don't think I could get engaged via my phone. LOL

I have issues with this too.

I have issues with this too. I have friends who have revealed to me that they had just gotten engaged via text message (and in worse cases, via Facebook). Technology, while helpful for communicating and making connections, also completely obliterates it.

Oh No!

Olive was very impressive. I was watching some of her videos this morning. How amazing that she had such vivid recall on events that occurred over 100 years ago.

Seriously, I can't remember what I did last week.

Oh no!

I've spent a lot of time reading about Olive, watching videos of her and reading her blog. Love her. I'm sorry to hear she's gone.

typewriter!

When we were away a couple of weekends ago, some sales company or something tried to call us. There was no "voice" on the voice mail, just the sound of a typewriter and it was definitely a typewriter and not a computer keyboard. I listened to the whole thing, just to listen to the typewriter.

I miss typewriters.

Goodbye, old friend

I feel a bit sad to see NN go. I wrote my farewell in Goodbye, old friend.

I can relate

I didn't really want one either - til I touched it. Once I touched it, I was hooked.

And now that I have one, I'm still hooked. I love my iPhone.

I'm a Filipino blogger and I'm so glad I came on this site cause I wouldn't have gotten to chance to read this entry. It's too bad I live in the Philippines but I would love to be part of the conference even if to just help promote it.

If a machine "hears" and responds to words, is it "listening"?

Laura Scott — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 15:59:59 -0500

Does technical amnesia exempt the machine from being counted as a listening device? Hmmmm.....

Thank you for the share! I think your concerns about the "other" person on the line is the most compelling that I've read in all the posts so far. And, I also think it will be very interesting to hear how this technology fits in with eavesdropping laws. I've been working under the assumption that because its voice recognition technology its not technically eavesdropping or if you agree to the service you agree to having the voice recognition software "listen" -- so its not technically eavesdropping . But... I'm really guessing here and hope more educated folks will share their viewpoints.
