I've heard alexa is huge for people with dementia. Checking the day/time. Pill reminders. Managing lights, music, etc. For people with disabilities, I think it's great. I wish it wasn't tied to an ad machine, but whatever.
People that are able bodied however, I don't think it's even that effective at managing lights, music, or whatever. It's mostly the novelty of arguing with a robot.
- lenocinor 8y agoI'm perfectly able-bodied and I use my Echo almost exclusively to play music now, after having done it through stereos for decades. It's just easier (usually -- classical music is awful). I don't think I want it to control my lights or anything, but for weather, music, and alarms it's been great.
