What is a digital voice assistant? What kind of tasks can they do? How can you get over feeling stupid about talking to a machine, or your watch? Why are the voices always female? Nerd Girl Jess untangles how to get started using Siri and Alexa, going over the risks, why you might be hesitant to use a device in your home that's always listening, and ends with some possible ways to get Siri and Google Assistant into your older car that doesn't already have a bluetooth connection.
