Your personal data scientist

My kids love Siri, Apple's virtual assistant. They ask her about homework, sports scores and science experiments. They ask her questions that range from the mundane (What is your favorite kind of dog?) to the profound (What is free will?). And, within reason, she answers. I ask her to look up recipes, type texts, check my calendar and find directions all while I'm busy with other activities, like driving or cooking or chasing my kids.
