Send to a Friend

What do you make of this subtle suggestion about your relationship to your devices?

Asked by Jeruba (55824points) December 8th, 2022

Looking at an ad for the newest Kindle Fire tablet, I noticed this bullet point:

• Stay connected – Download apps like Zoom, or ask Alexa to make video calls to friends and family.

“Ask Alexa.” Not tell, order, or command. Is your device’s pseudo-persona supposed to be your servant, or is it your companion, your family member, your imaginary friend?

How does this strike you?
