The panel of Josh Centers, Mark Fuccio, and host Chuck Joiner discuss whether we all expect too much from our technology. The conversation starts with the results of a comparison of Google Home, Apple’s Siri, and Amazon Alexa, then branches out to an examination of our evolving expectations. Did hardware and software really used to be more reliable, or were we just more tolerant of their flaws. How does the pressure to deliver and perform factor into the question? Find out in this thought-provoking episode.
