For most people with a smartphone, it has become easy — even routine — to demand answers, bark commands, boss around and even call your personal device names when asking for help.
But, it turns out, even if you’re prone to yelling at your digital assistant, it likely doesn’t mean you’re a rude person. (Although iPhone’s Siri isn’t programmed to disagree.)
A new study out of Brigham Young University looked at whether people who rely on technology for assistance — including Siri, Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home — might be less polite because of it.
