Assessing Intelligent Personal Assistants (IPA's - i.e. Siri, Google Now), their usefulness and their practicality for consumers.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to complete this questionnaire on Intelligent Personal Assistants. The goal of this questionnaire is to gather feedback on these systems from the public and understand what works and what doesn't in the systems that are already on the market. Using the feedback provided by you and coupled with my own thoughts and feelings on these systems, I will produce a new IPA system (referred to as the 'artefact') which embodies these changes at a somewhat basic level. This artefact will be presented as part of my final year independent studies of Computer Science at the University of Lincoln. Alongside the artefact, I will produce a written piece detailing my findings and the goals behind certain features of the artefact. All feedback provided is completely anonymous (I don't ask for any personal details other than a general age bracket), thus your information and answers are secure.
