I’m a techie at heart, so I tend to gravitate towards new gadgets. I must say that I am considerably more hesitant to get attached to Alexa, or Google Home, or Siri, as the news leaking out about how much conversation is recorded, even when the machine isn’t being asked to do anything.
That said, it is still neat technology.
Do you have the newest smart home device? Personally, my father thought it would be a great gift at Christmas time and suddenly he has set up, not one, but two within his house. I’m all for advancing technology, but some people are beginning to argue if Google’s newest fads are becoming too invasive. Not only is the device always listening, unless you mute it, the fact that the device utilizes smart technology contributes to users’ fears. Smart technology means it is learning while being asked questions; documenting frequent song choices, Google searches, location, etc. Each device begins to learn about it’s personal owner.
