Tell me about it!

Installing some espionage device just because it’s “helpful” is right out.

True, but schools have, under the influence of progressives such as Bill Ayers, been sucking them out if they’re able.

Who wants their house talking to them?

What would be bad is your house giving you "back talk."



It's only Tuesday, you better not be calling in sick to work!

You HAD a bowl of ice cream, why are you getting another?



That would be a big N. O.

“I can even use it to lock my car and to find out how much gas is in it”

The rest of us have that ability already. We don’t need a nanny-state spy to do that for us.

Alexa = “1984 Writ Large” ... who would have ever thunk when we read that book that we would voluntarily and happily PAY to have these spy device installed into our lives?

Excellent question? WHY?

IMHO, anyone that has one of these devil machines anywhere near themselves is stoopid.

If we keep embracing and supporting this stuff with brainwashed mass consumerism it will be. I would like to see more folks have the will power to just say “no, I don’t need it” so that some of these ideas just go away. But we just can’t live without our toys...

I’ve already posted in FitBit community forum that I WILL NOT buy any product with the Alexa spy in it.

I have an iPhone, but have turned off Siri on it, and my MacBook Pro has the Siri app installed, but it’s never been opened, or set up. I have an Amazon Kindle Fire, but have turned off Alexa on that.
