Technology will get me in trouble someday
We have a car with voice technology. Ask it to do something and it can.
I was on my way to serve lunch in the park and the radio was not on Sirius 18, the Beatles channel.
So I hit the voice activation button and said, "channel 18."
I understood. You can understand.
As I was driving, waiting for channel 18, my phone started ringing. I looked and discovered I was calling 911!
How the hell "channel 18" turns into 911 is beyond my technological comprehension.
I panicked and disconnected.
Seconds later I got a call from the sheriff's department asking if I was all right.
I assume she meant physically and not mentally.
I explained what happened, and said several times how sorry I was. I thought I was being safe using the hands free voice option instead of using the channel select buttons.
I was told if that happens again, don't hang up. Stay on the line and explain.
That I will do.
I also learn you don't say congratulations to women unless you are 110 percent sure they are expecting. Oops.
As a side note.....I had a coffee on the way home last night. I had a hard time falling asleep.
The Twilight Zone was on and I watched an episode called "He's Alive."
It was filmed on the 60s but had a message that fits so well in today's world.
If you get a chance, watch it. It is eerily modern.
No coffee tonight....so hopefully I will fall asleep sooner than later.
