Alexa, Siri make disabled users more independent : Survey


- It also helps fight loneliness.

New Delhi, 20 December 2022, Tuesday

The key research is that these smart speakers help people with disabilities become more independent. Users reported that such devices had a significant impact on their lives, giving them a sense of independence and helping them manage—and even improve—their conditions and abilities.

Smart speakers are definitely a boon. They help us navigate technology with ease, act as home assistants and come out as friends in times of loneliness. The in-depth survey involved 100 smart speaker owners and 15 non-owners. They found that a large number of survey participants reported that smart speakers functioned as a "companion" that they could talk to.

However, on the other hand people who don't own smart devices say they see smart speakers as a luxury, saying why people install them is beyond comprehension. However, some people were also concerned about spying, as many controversial statements claimed that these devices could "listen". During the pandemic, smart speaker ownership in the UK alone increased from 22 percent in 2020 to 39 percent in 2022.

China's new preoccupation.

Image
Many countries are currently paying special attention to the India-China-Pakistan border. America, who called Corona a Chinese virus, has once again given its belligerent mood by calling Tibet an independent country. Right now, Biden is in a mood to teach China a lesson. Ever since India started taking interest in the climate of Gilgit region, the Pakistani and Chinese armies have been at loggerheads. Strict reciprocal seizures have been made by all three countries along the Kashmir and Aksai China borders. After the lockdown, the increasing tension on the border between China and Ladakh is taking a serious form. Indian Army Chief General visits Ladakh but tensions remain latent, not abated. This is a dangerous new move by China. It remains to be seen that a situation like Doklam, which happened three years ago, does not arise on the Tibet-Sikkim-Bhutan triangle.
