Amazon echo

Sounds like a gimmick and a waste of money from the sound of it!

That's been said of many of the things we take for granted today...

Pointless technology for most domestic situations, but am sure they are nice toy for some. Oh I hear that they may listen and record everything you say....big data, big brother.

More ways for Amazon to rake in the money no questions asked!

I don't want Amazon or any tech giant getting my voice data.
If it was only way i.e. Disabled?

Google is better because of their extensive data but I hate google.

Don't get one unless you want amazon storing everything you say.

The same goes for all the other mikes on your devices, phones, iPads, etc

It's all being stored with your name, location subject matter and probalty your relationship with your friends and their's etc.


The government or the police would need a warrant to do this to you

Think about it- do you want all this stuff being stored and analysed by a third party. What about when they sell this info to other organisations.
