A few years back I purchased an Amazon Echo device for my mom, a septuagenarian who previously had expressed little inclination to use the voice assistant aid offered by her phone. Fortunately she was beginning to show interest in trying a standalone device to serve her daily inquiries about the weather, stocks and news, so I set her up with two Echo devices, both which almost immediately became a favorite everyday tool. Its success can be attributed to Alexa’s unwavering ability to comprehend her ceaseless queries from the comfort of her sofa, alongside the ring of light integrated to offer a friendly visual cue that her command or question was heard.
Amazon’s more recent effort, the Echo Show 10, builds upon those earlier features with a more extensive interactive toolkit at its disposal, raising the bar of device and user interactivity toward one much more personal.
