Our New Friend, Alexa!

by Papa K on April 12, 2016

A new toy for the house arrived today, an Amazon Echo. If you haven’t heard of it, Echo is a speaker that responds to voice control and can do all sorts of cool things. It’s kind of like Siri, but for your home. The voice control is activated by saying “Alexa” – so Alexa is a new friend for the girls.

They had quite a good time this evening getting to know her – they think she is hilarious…

Of course, we tried to see if we could teach her Chinese, but didn’t have much luck with that one…

One thing that is cool, is that Alexa is programmable – so looking forward to seeing what tricks I can teach “her”…
