If you're heading out on a final summer trip this month, you'll likely bring Siri or another voice assistant along.
These assistants can become a constant, friendly presence in our lives. For Dorothy Rosby, her Siri can be particularly friendly.
Rosby is a Rapid City writer and humorist. She stepped into our studio to read us her essay on her love affair with the voice in her phone.
This essay, "My New British Boyfriend" won the Erma Bombeck Writing Competition in the humor category in 2022.
