Why I do not use the Amazon Alexa product...that thing is listening to your ass!
At least I'm housebroken.
Yet all of our cell phones have this same capability.

Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

I think it's more of the Alexa hearing my wife saying I'm a Dick!

Data is worth a ton of money. I'd be willing to sell mine for the right price. However, I don't want anyone to get my data for free.
Last year Vizio reported in the SEC filing and annual report that they made more money selling data than the TV sets. Let that sink in. They know what you are watching and for how long, including ads, then they sell that info. Data is king.
Why does Harris Teeter, Food Lion, etc. give you a discount for simply giving your personal info? Data. We exchange a bunch of free stuff for our personal information and I am not sure how that ever changes but I feel that Apple is doing a better job of it than all the others. MG

Yup, like others have said, that ship has done sailed and if you have a smart phone you're onboard whether you like it or not.
Lexa can get a little creepy at times, she self learned my wife and my first names a long time ago and started calling us by first name out of the blue several months apart
Regardless, I have one in every room of my house (6) except the bathrooms. I like the idea of playing whole house music on demand plus I really enjoy messing with Alexa. She loves to tell fart jokes for hours when asked.
But on a serious note, Alexa can be set up to call phone#s in your contact list with a voice command in the event of an medical emergency. (Alexa can't call 911 without a land line and additional equipment)
I realize there are other options for making medical emergency calls but if you already have a few Alexas in the house there's no reason not to set them up to call 5-10 people in your contact list if needed
I bring this up as I am currently helping a family deal with updating the insurance policies for their 60 year old brother who lived alone and died in his house in November. It took approximately two weeks to find him. I don't know if an emergency call option would have saved him. Maybe, maybe not but the insurance claim to clean the house was $15,350.
But if your a privacy freak, that ship has sailed. I can type in your name, address and D.O.B. and a ton of data populates. ( do you own a home, type cars you own, SS#, credit, claims, accidents, MVR, other persons in your household........)
