The owl is not what it seems.
The owl is also a good visual metaphor to remind you to that in capitalist America, Echo Dot watches you!
Amazon is constantly listening to me talk to my dogs in silly voices.
I can probably ask Alexa to turn it into a podcast or stream me via Twitch.
Who you listening too Alexa? “Hoo? hoo?..” ( sorry seemed funnier in my mind)
“Alexa, how many licks does it take to get the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?”
perhaps we should ask Amazon for wake word ‘Hedwig’
I had set my wake word to ‘Computer’ until I realized the complications from watching Star Trek.
It’s artificial?
Owls are pretty neat but honestly from the headline I was hopin for somethin more in the techno-taxidermy category.
