Apple's Siri or Samsung's S Voice has really revolutionized this world and showed the world that the world is improving in technology extremely quickly. About 5 years ago we had to turn on our computers and had to search with a keyboard and typing. Now we can just turn on our iPhone, connect to the Wi-Fi, and just speak the words of what you were going to search right into the phone. Now Google wants to join in on the fun with their own voice-assisted intelligent personal assistant - the "Google Now". And of course, Apple now allows the application on their Appstore.
-"Google Now" may now be used a lot more than the Siri of Apple's products
-Both Siri and Google Now have very similar results and both are efficient when asked a question
-When asked a specific question, Google Now is the better voice-assist application system
-While Google Now is slightly better at searching for results, it cannot do many things that Siri can, such as setting your alarm
- Google Now can be used on both iProducts and Android while Siri is only on Apple products
I think that one possible advantage is that it allows Android users to be more comfortable with searching and that they finally have their own voice-assist system. It helps people get used to Google and will now search things much more easier and with good results. People might also have been lazy to search something because they had to type it - now they can just speak it out and they'll get the results.
Like always, where there is an advantage, there's always a disadvantage. With all these stuff, it's good to know that technology is improving but what about health? With Google Now, more people will now start to become so much lazier by just talking instead of using their hands. Like holding your phone and searching your stuff was hard enough, now you can just speak it out. "Google Now" has a limitation to searching whereas Siri can search or do many things such as opening an application or setting an alarm.
Will "Google Now" improve and make it to the point where many people want to convert from Siri to "Google Now?" (Improve as in better search results, more helpful, and helps with the phone like Siri). What can Google Now do to make their search results better and attract more people? Will there be anything for mute or deaf people or people who have trouble talking?
