Alexa

Anyone have Alexa? I got her for my birthday and we really her. She tells me what the weather is etc, and I have her play my favorite music and radio station, which I couldn't get clear on the portable radio I had. Lots of people seem to be afraid to own her, that she sees everything? What? I could care less what she hears or sees, as we have nothing to hide. My niece, has her too, and says the same thing. Both my daughters have her too.

Anyone here?

I've had an Echo (plus a couple of Dots) for a few years. I use them mostly for timers, alarms, and reminders. I also sometimes ask Alexa to "help me sleep". I don't much care what Alexa sees in my life.

We use her all the time. We ask questions, songs, use as a timer, weather, several things. Glad we made the purchase. I don’t know how Alexa can see or hear anything. You have to say her name first.

I’ve had my Alexa for a year. Love her!

Oh yes, I use it for timers and reminders too. Love it for putting things on the shopping list, and when my husband is grocery shopping, everything is right there on his phone. When I babysit my darling 20 mo. old twin granddaughtes, their Alexa plays their children's songs and they love it!

Whatever Alexa would see in my life would be boring.

I have an Alexa. Mainly she helps me with spelling. I also have several DOTs.

I've given away lots of DOTs to family and friends. My son in law has his on a separate router...he said it's better for security reasons.

I will have to google because I have no ideal what an Alexa is. I thought this was going to be about Billy Joel and Christy Brinkley's daughter. I am so out of the loop on gadgets and such.

Yes, we use it for children’s songs too and the grocery list. That’s great too. I forgot these things until I read your post.
