I have no trouble with voice recognition technology; it always understands me, and my phone understands when it's my voice.
Chilly public spaces often are demanded by women in their late 40's, early 50's.
I will say this. Technology is created by the young, for the young.
For this reason, if you try to expand the map on your iPhone, the streets themselves get bigger and bigger, but the street names remain the same small font. Because young people have no trouble seeing the small letters, where older people are trying to expand the map to read the words but they never get bigger.
So I ask you. How big does the designer of that software think the streets need to be? Because yeah, I think we all get it. That line is a street. But what's the name of it?
That's already been fixed ages ago. Go into your phone settings under accessibility and increase the font size. Your font size in map apps like Google maps will be larger.

My experience is the opposite. Our office of 600 on 3 floors is always kept at 70, 365 days/ year. Both women and men complain of being cold in winter, and the men complain of being hot in summer. I (male) find our company phones to be too small. As for cars, I suppose a good percentage of women would find a full size pickup to be big, but that’s why they have power seats, power pedal adjustment and adjustable steering wheels. My wife has no trouble doing my F150. If anything I find the typical and popular CUV such as Escape/Forester/RAV4 to be too small and cramped.
I don't get this, are companies really supposed to spend millions in R&D and millions more just to make seperate male and female versions of different phones, cars, bookshelfs etc.?
On the other hand, I often wonder how men manage to use the small keyboards on mobile phones. I'm a woman, and it's a challenge to keep my thumb on only one letter.
Vive la difference!
My b/ is 6’2” and I am 5’2”...He does the heavy lifting and gets stuff off the top shelf. I do the lighter lifting and take care of the lower things. We have a symbiotic relationship. We compliment each other!
I like to wait until we’re in the car with him behind the wheel to push the button in my remote that brings the gas and brake pedal up and moves the drivers seat fully forward and up.... it squashes him like a bug! 😂

One of the reasons I retired was offices roasting hot and no place is designed for my height really and few cars can comfortably accommodate me....but I don't whine, I just dealt with it.
