I was gifted an Alexa and disconnected it after the first day. Whatever minor convenience it offers aren't worth the massive privacy risks.
That's what bothers me so much about all these gadgets and apps. They don't even offer anything revolutionary. Just a handful of gimmicks and evolutionary improvements to things you could already do.
Yet people are happy giving up their privacy for it.
It's not that hard to add tasks to your to-do list manually. Or to switch on your table lamp by hand.
- friendlybus 7y agoSame with my family members getting google home products. Never switched on. I think people tolerate phones and computers because they are isolatable objects that are meant for work. The further this stuff steps into family life and real life relationships (not just narcissistic projections on facebook/ig pages), the more people don't want it.
