Re: Echo...
@Michelle, funny, I actually am connected to someone who works there, though we are at opposite ends of the country.
Voice assist
I think it depends on how that data continues to be handled and how the handling of that voice data can be innovated upon. 5G, obviously, will help.

@Ariella: I know an Amazon alumnus or two myself -- but they found their way there via acquisition.
Re: Echo...
@Ariella: That headline seems a mite alarmist to me. Sure, it's much more advanced technology, but for all of the issues with that kind of technology, I really don't think it's going to do *much* more damage to kids than, say, Teddy Ruxpin.

Re: Echo...
@Joe did they find the company culture changed from what they orginally signed on for?
Re: Echo...
@Ariella: I haven't discussed this in depth with him, but the person I know who used to be there has had only highly positive things about his experience.

Re: Echo...
@Joe I'm glad it worked out for that person. One: that the job was retained, and Two: that they find the atmosphere a positive one.

Re: Echo...
@Ariella - That's crazy! I'm just going to go back to my typical response for things like this - that's where parenting needs to come in. You can't let your kids think the way they speak to "Echo" in my kids case, is the way they should speak to people. It's the responsibilty of the parent to correct that behaviour. And it's the responsibility of the parent to make sure kids can spell and have good grammar. Maybe that's why I home school?

Re: Echo...
@Joe - Teddy Ruxpin - that's a decent, and also quite humorous comparison to make. Talking toys have existed for a few decades now. I think a lot of people, particularly those without kids, are quick to discount just how much kids learn from observing. (It's INSANE!) So while they might spend some time bossing around an electronic device, assuming they also spend time with their parents and watch humans interact in other ways, most kids won't have any trouble at all.
Re: Echo...
@elizabethv: Indeed. I'm much more concerned about what children are learning by how their parents or teachers may "boss them around" than about how children might "boss around" their toys.
