The article “Siri can't direct you to an abortion clinic” talks about how apples new iPhone 4S feature cant locate an abortion clinic even though it knows how to tell you where to go to buy condoms. Siri pulls all its information from the internet once asked a question. Apple said the omission was not intentional. Siri can help you find drugstores and bars, but the iPhone 4S digital assistant is clueless when it comes to the locations of abortion clinics.
Apple is a multi-million dollar company selling one of the best mobile phones there is. Its newest mobile phone the iPhone 4S has a feature called “siri” its feature allows you to talk to your iPhone and ask it for a question. Siri is able to answer all kinds of questions because it pulls there information off the internet. So why cant it answer a simple question like “Where is the closest abortion clinic?” if it pulls information from the internet? Is it possible that apple purposely made the application not to be able to do it? Abortion clinics are not something small and is all over the internet so siri should easily find it. Apple has said it was accidental and its only a beta, and that siri will be at its best once they have its final product. Is apple sending a statement out there to people? Or was it actually accidental? A little mistake like this can really hurt a company, apple needs to fix siri asap.
