For the most part it doesnt bother me.  I do find it creepy sometimes.

Doesn't bother me in the least. I don't pay attention to it. What I purchase or window shop for is no big deal.

My radio station talked about this recently.

Seems the ‘Alexa’ devices in your home is tracking things

things you talk about, listen to on TV/Radio & then suggesting

items on social media.

I hate the pop ups that cover what I am interested in.They can be difficult to close without getting transferred to their site.The thing I really don’t like is the ones with the tiny x that don’t go away but just replace themselves.

• @sidsmom.  My SIL has been telling her daughter about Alexa since she purchased it. Also SIL is so afraid of Govt. tracking her, battery comes out of her dumb phone every night, tv's unplugged, etc. etc. And we didn't walk on the moon. Sometimes it's fun to listen to her!

Forget the hat..just cover the whole house.

@sidsmom.  Oh, but it's much worse. She is so paranoid that it must take so much energy and time researching that there is no time to be happy and enjoy retirement.

THIS!

In the privacy of your own home!  But Alexa type devices are just the newest tool for evesdropping.... you still have the speaker system in any of the smart phones and laptops not to mention the camaras, which have been going on for years.  It's something to think about at least....

“Finally, this may feel futuristic, but I assure you it is not. The FBI was already using a cellphone microphone to eavesdrop on organized crime as long as a decade ago. Commercial interests are not too far behind in doing much the same, with the purpose of targeting a better sales pitch.

Our omnipresent networked devices raise big questions that we should openly debate. How we balance these costs and benefits will determine the type of society we live in.” Signs of the Times dot net
