I have been studying the idea that
"Humans need to read to feel more empathy with others."

I don't know. I have been thinking about this a lot. I am using a life of experiences to measure against. 3 plus wives, many "close" friends. I think that what humans need is someone to talk to, that will always be there, that will tell us what we need to know in a pleasant non-condescending way.

I think the new iPhone technology fits that bill perfectly. I can see that voice Srii? being put on all the phones, on all the tablets, on all the laptops. On the TVs too. Then humans won't need each other. We will all be self contained with ourselves and our own special "voice" on our device.

Now if Srii can bring out some videos like Kendra, Pamela, or Jenny, that will be even nicer. We can watch her while we talk to her. I get a warm feeling when I think of it.
