VIDEO: Searching the Web

Gabe uses the Siri feature on the iPad/iPhone to get answers. Here, he's searching for when the next UVA college basketball game is. This is significant for a lot of reasons: 1) he desperately wants to watch more UVA basketball (And notice in the video that he sees the result of his search....the next UVA game is UVA vs. Maryland....Go UVA!); 2) he now knows he can get some basic answers by himself, by asking the iPad/iPhone (he did the search in this video-clip on his own; I didn't tell him to do it); 3) he doesn't realize it, but Gabe is now searching the web (he can't really spell or read well yet, and he certainly can't type). It never occurred to me how voice recognition technology would change things for people.  My, how technology has changed things!
