Alexa, robots are stupid
Have any of you guys bought into the smart devices/smart homes things quite popular nowadays? what do you think about it?
I am thinking about a google home mini - the smallest and the lowest budget. Not too sure though... will it just be a 5 day novelty to ask google to read me news or play me songs (which need other subscription services) or get smart lights/thermistat etc etc or does it get reallly used?

Re: Alexa, robots are stupid
We've got Amazon Echo. I use it mostly as a speaker. It's not all that great but something is better than nothing

Re: Alexa, robots are stupid
Those are stupid things.. the novelty wears off after a few days. Most of the things it does are already at the tips of your fingers with a smartphone.
I was thinking such devices would be helpful while you're driving.. like take me to the nearest walmart, and it should say it would be 5 miles out of the way of your current route, and will set you back at least 30 minutes. |

Re: Alexa, robots are stupid
Amazon Echo (Alexa is the digital assistant) is a cool device.. its not that expensive either.. my children love it since they can ask questions and get information(weather,news,setup alarm) play music etc.. We have set it up to switch on the smart lights at home on command, switch on the TV, change channels etc.. it can even order pizza for you
