The release of the latest iPhone4S and the introduction of Siri caused many reactions, ranging from those that criticized Apple for not releasing iPhone5 after all the hype that was being created to those that raved about the new application, Siri in the new phone.

Internet and Multimedia definitely integrated greatly and immersed into practically everyone’s everyday life. The introduction of the Artificial Intelligence, Siri, in the iPhone4S will definitely create another trend of multimedia being part of our everyday life.

Of course, with multimedia and everything else, there are the good and bad. I’m sure the goodness of multimedia need not be stressed any much more, but the bad, that’s something that most people don’t focus on.

One of the main disadvantage of multimedia and internet is that it allows for the following to happen.

That was a podcast created by Mr. Brown, a famous blogger in Singapore, poking fun of Siri, and re-naming the application to Simi, meaning “what” in dialect.

Multimedia and Internet allowed for this to happen. It allowed room for criticism and/or negative feedbacks from people. One way to counter that negative things is to either, react in a gracious manner and perhaps correct the item in question if there are any, or simply just ignore it and be in peace with the fact that some people are just having fun.

Are there any other negative effects that multimedia has brought us? Or any other ways to deal with the negative effects or comments that were expressed through multimedia?
