Though I ought not to be, I am constantly stunned so many people live in Lalaland.

I refuse to purchase any pc system that has a camera built into it’s system.

Alexa? Not in my house.

When I type ANYTHING or say ANYTHING it is with the assumption it can ALWAYS be overheard or read.

My jaw dropped the other day when I heard my normally sane sister advise Alexa to drop the volume on her radio.

I’m still trying to explain to this normally sane woman to get rid of Alexa for their own safety and security.

“I’m still trying to explain to this normally sane woman to get rid of Alexa for their own safety and security.”

And she says?

We have several Alexa devices around the house. They have many uses and are very convenient for a plethora of uses. I guess that I am just more worried about real threats from real criminals than imaginary threats from imaginary “hackers”. Who really is going to waste their time spying on the noises you are making around the house? Maybe someday it will be a problem, but probably not now. I have a hard enough time getting people to listen to me even when I am trying to tell them something.
