A few days ago my laptop wouldn't start up. I didn't have the time then to fix it so I set it off to the side. This morning I took it with me to college and decided to fix it in the hour before class. A few Google searches later I had figured out that I would need to reset my computer. Of course being Windows it was going to take a while to reset, so I put my laptop in my backpack and headed to my first class of the semester.
About 30 minutes into the lecture my mind wondered to my computer and I remembered something I had totally forgotten about. When I bought my computer and turned it on for the first time, Cortana popped up and said her thing (Hi, I,'m Cortana). I started wondering, would resetting the computer bring up her again?
So there I was for the next 20 minutes wondering if Cortana was going to interrupt the teacher to introduce herself. I sat in terror. I ran through possible scenarios in my mind - would muting the computer help? Or was my only option to take her out of the room? I missed quite a bit of the lecture because I was thinking about it.
Thankfully, she decided not to disturb my class and spared me a heart attack, but it definitely did not increase my love for Cortana. I personally find Cortana useless. I don't want to talk to my computer! Sure, I'd talk to my phone or a hub but talking to a computer feels weird...
Can you imagine what the other people in my class would have thought if my computer had started talking to them? :DD
