Funny you should say that. Last year when we switched our homeowners insurance policy they offered us a free Alexa. I said H*ll no!
Very wise of you.
I always tell friends that I have developed a totally ruthless attitude toward technology over the years. If it makes my life better, I might give it a shot. But I feel no need to have the latest and greatest — just a modern manifestation of keeping up with the Joneses.
I don’t carry a cell phone — although a good friend of mine keeps bugging me to get one just in case I have a car breakdown. Not that I drive much since I retired, but I can’t contest his logic.
Otherwise, I have my desktop computer, and my aging but still quite serviceable Bose CD player in my little home office. That’s about what I need.
“they offered us a free Alexa”
Gadgets that can listen, see, sense and talk and attach wirelessly to the internet, and be very small, are dirt cheap. They are the best thing that’s happened in a long time for big brother.
I also think that 5G is for big brother, not us.
