I find that terribly creepy and disconcerting.  Our technology should not be engaging us or bothering us-- or listening in on us when we are not using it, either.  The reality is that all of these devices are collecting data on as many of us as possible, and who knows who all of the end sellers and users of all that data are?  I cannot imagine...


Turn them off or get rid of them. Alexa is meant to be spoken to. No one is forced to have one in their home. We don't. 

Siri can be shut off.

I had  something happen with Alexa, I had it on to time something and someone on TV [had that on too] said you know what I would like Alex and my Alexa  echo did not miss a trick  said a cheese steak sandwich and a order of fries. I had to laugh it was so funny and creepy all at the same time.Woman LOLWoman Very Happy
