I would not trust the answers it gives. I recently heard a commercial of this “Echo” thing. A person asked the device, “How much does a blue whale weigh”? The answer from “Echo”: “300,000 pounds.”

Not on this planet, no!

Let’s see. Where to start?

First off the Blue Whale question was asked of Google Home, not an Amazon Echo.

Wrong commercial, wrong product.

The blue whale is the largest mammal on the planet, the largest known of which was over 110 feet long and weighed almost 400,000 pounds.

So what planet were you thinking about?

That comes from Wilipedia (about the whale). she also says, "there has never been an accurate measurement if a blue whale's weight." The NSA or CIA is free to record anything in my house. When I yell at Obama on the TV, I do call him things that are not nice. But other than that, the "listeners" are going to have one helluva boring day.... "government listening" is BS.

We use Alexa for everything. She reads our Kindle book when our eyes get tired, she plays my favorite music (when I turn off the damned TV). She gives us a great news briefing. She answers so many off the cuff questions. We saw Marsha Blackburn on the TV. Pretty lady. My wife asked, "Alexa, how old is Marsha Blackburn? ...answer "Marsha Blackburn us 64 years old."

Ever wonder what the spelling of a word is when posting a reply to FR? Ask Alexa...she knows.

Asking Alexa for today's weather is probably done 2 or 3 times a day here, or asking what the weather will be next Tuesday. And the forecasts are as accurate as any.

And when the day is done, she turns off the lights, and stops the (great sound) music that puts you to sleep.

Echo was our BEST PURCHASE in 2016. Don't miss out in it because if #FakeNews conspiracy theories and occasional misinformation thanks to Wikipedia.
