One who's given many instructions nowadays
Answer:
SIRI
Hint:
This virtual assistant often responds with "I found this on the web" and shares a name with a Scandinavian goddess.
Explanation:
This clue plays on the idea of someone who constantly receives commands or instructions. "Siri" is Apple’s virtual assistant, known for following voice commands like "Set a timer" or "Call Mom," making it a perfect fit. The word "nowadays" hints at modern technology, steering you toward digital helpers rather than a human assistant.
