In a way, since my kids, dog and cat dont listen to me, its sort of nice to think that someone does.

I refuse to have any devices in my home that listen to me or talk to me.

Amazon Workers Are Listening to What You Tell Alexa

 

DH and I personally have no interest using these new devices, but be careful of your privacy. Keep in mind, as technology expands into every aspect of your life, the less privacy you will actually have.

 

Some folks don't care if everything is out there for the whole world to know...

 

DH and I have our boundaries.


@Susan Louise  Thank you for trying to be helpful.  I made a similar comment a couple of years ago about these devices (people working behind the scenes) being able to listen and was subjected to the same ridicule.  Don't let it get to you.
