The Echo is kinda convenient, for what it does. My wife and I got one for Xmas, and we used it for a week or two. But it kinda creeped her out, so we boxed it back up. I rather liked being able to ask it to play any particular song that entered my head while I was washing dishes, or to ask it about traffic or weather, or just “Alexa, tell me a joke.” I rarely was misunderstood by it (prolly 'cause I got that technology-default SoCal accent), and I’d use it all the goddamned time if I felt I could trust it 1/100th as far as I could throw it.
