   Children with autism have trouble engaging in social communication. This is where Siri, the voice- 61 system developed by Apple, comes in to help. Many autistic children find Siri interesting on account of its 62 capacity. This is the case with Gus, who has difficulty striking up meaningful conversations with other people. One day, he 63 upon Siri on his mother’s iPhone. Before he knew it, he was having tireless discussions with Siri about his favorite subjects, ranging from trains to turtles. For Gus and many other kids with autism, Siri can serve as a(n) 64 friend. Apart from helping autistic children, the 65 assistant also positively affected older people’s lives. Many tend to believe that young people are more 66 on computerized personal assistants such as Siri. However, one survey of people in their late fifties to mid seventies 67 this isn’t the case. Older folks, as a matter of fact, found it easier to go to Siri rather than reading the 68 print on their cells or in newspapers. Furthermore, older people who feel 69 because of health conditions may enjoy having Siri around as a 70 . The next generation of Siri may even include tracking eye movement, a real benefit for autistic children who dare not look at people in the eyes.
