Yeah I don't trust those devices at all. I don't know why I would pay for something that gives marketers more access to my life. It really feels Orwellian having a company (both Amazon and Google) that traffics in personal information listening to everything you say in your house. I was miffed today when I saw a story on yahoo about how Fitbit is using big data to learn about people's sleeping schedules. I would have opted out of that if I knew they were collecting that information even if not personally identifiable for their own purposes. But either way I am not getting an Alexa or Google home because I find them extraordinarily creepy!

You bring up a point I meant to bring up, Orwellian in nature. It sure does seem that way doesn't it? Thank you for bringing that up.
Another good point about Amazon and Google both trafficking in personal information and such. That is completely true. Their business models revolve around knowing as much as possible about the people using their services. Scary.
