Two young men, struggling to find something to do for entertainment, ask iPhone’s Siri for suggestions.
Presented with a list of activities one would normally be able to do, such as “go on a road trip”, the two friends find themselves unable to do any of the suggestions.
“This movie is the closest thing to me; I’ve been suffering from this problem basically since I became a teenager and started going out to the town. I’m going to turn 24 and I’m still suffering from the same problem – when someone wants to really disconnect and have fun, there’s nothing they can do,”
– Luay Awwad, as told to Al Jazeera
