New Technology-Making Obtaining Information Seamless

 I have met the future and her name is Alexa.  Most of us are familiar with Amazon for their amazing 2-day shipping, and Amazon Prime.  Well, now get ready to welcome Alexa into your lives; Alexa is a hands-free, voice-activated small device with a built – in speaker.

Alexa can do all the things, provide information, play music,  news, sports scores, weather and more – instantly. Alexa can hear your voice commands from any direction, the other side of the room, even in noisy environments. Alexa can hear from just about anywhere in your home or office.  Alexa has not one, but seven microphones that utilize far-field voice recognition software with enhanced noise cancellation software.

My all time favorite feature Alexa performs is her ability to call me a Lyft or Uber.  Additionally, you can order food, ask quick trivia questions and more Alexa has about 8,000 plus commands she responds to.  Alexa has quickly become my new best friend for playing competitive scrabble, she knows all of the double and triple score words.  After the success of Amazon's first model and the advent of Google Home, Amazon is back with a vengeance; so get ready to wake up and say hello Alexa!
