1. I believe that this technology won´t be able to help the people yet because it need it more perfection.
2. I believe that yes but also i think that it´s a normal situation that a machine isn´t operate well all time as a computer or a phone.
3. I don´t use assitant beacuse i think that i needn´t do it. The people can´t be all time around machines and technological devices because it isn´t good to our health.
4. Maybe, the technology keep going step by step and each time the machines include new developments.
