Unusual thing I have learned

The state of consciousness is the most unusual, only because of the way I think of the term consciousness. If consciousness is a sort of self-awareness then many things can be considered conscious even when they are not even human. With this new technology we have there are many devices we are introduced to that have consciousness. So does that mean our devices can be conscious too? For example my iphone has something called SIRI, I can talk to my iphone and siri can answer my questions. Anything I ask or say she will respond. And her responses are informal and very helpful. Does that mean my phone has a state of conciousness?
