Truck driver. The comm terminal in my truck (Qualcomm) has a female voice, for navigation waypoint reminders, reading messages, and warnings. It is not a pleasant voice. I've name it after my ex wife, because it's always telling me what to do. This is particularly annoying in Oregon, where the max speed was raised from 55 years ago, and she will tell you every five seconds that "You are exceeding the posted speed limit. ... You are exceeding the posted speed limit. ..." So you turn off the voice (which I could never do when I was married), and give up the other useful voice functions. The optical scanner advertisement from 1968 was interesting. "16 legs and eight wagging tongues." I was a teenager then, and I can imagine women being annoyed by that ad, and me and other men being dismissive. To our discredit, despite it being "a different time." Maybe I'll rename my Qualcomm to George. (Although she really was always telling me what to do.)
