I use Siri for directions and for setting alarms on my iPhone. I know I&#8217;m missing out on a lot, and maybe I&#8217;ll consider that when I grow older.<\/p>\n<p>But not today.<\/p>\n<p>In saying that, I realize that many of you have come to love Apple&#8217;s digital assistant, that you might regret that it doesn&#8217;t do more things.
