- nbwilliams 9y agoNot for the owner==product. Someone though may benefit from one additional microphone in every house.
- edanm 9y agoNot an unreasonable assumption, considering their popularity and the fact that people DO use them.
- toyg 9y agoConsidering their enduring popularity in mass-appeal science-fiction constructs (stories, movies etc), I'm pretty sure they do have "something to offer".
- walshemj 9y agoI want one sounding like EDI from massefect II and II or Orac from Blakes 7
- dilap 9y agothey do! for me, anyway. i bought an echo dot on a whim, since it's so cheap, assuming it'd be fun to play with, but not very useful. to my surprise, it's really handy. setting timers, adding food to the shopping list, and playing music are all super-convenient with alexa. turning lights on and off with her is fun too, although i admit, it was already a fairly easy task to do using a conventional, physical switch. :-)
