I’m at my sister’s house watching her dog. She has a house completely rigged with all of the Alexa and echo stuff. There’s all sorts of camera and voice activation and it freaks me out. I would NEVER put that stuff in my house.
It used to when I first became conscious of it, but now I’m quite used to them, I have the Google speakers in two rooms. I’m over it, it’s been long enough shrugs
Dude I would never get an Alexa or similar product. It’s just a gimmick to me. I type over 200 cwpm, I can type nearly as fast as I can speak, so I don’t see the need for anything but my laptop or phone.
I have 2 Google Home Mini’s in my house. One in the basement and one in my bedroom. They are handy.
I trust Google more than I trust Amazon when it comes to privacy, but I don’t really trust either of them to be honest.
At this point all these smart devices have probably collected incriminating data about most of us, like your smart phone GPS knowing you drove above the speed limit . I just hope they don’t use all this information to turn our society into a techotyranny.
