@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.

@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.

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.

Re: Echo...
@Ariella good point!

Did you happen to see this job posting on LinkedIn? 

Lead Alexa Personality Writer

"Do you have a talent for engaging people and making them laugh? Can you lead a team of writers, create process and guidelines, and run a daily production calendar, all while creating funny, timely and engaging content to fill it with? If so, we'd love to talk with you!"

Digital assistants are doing more than changing life at home, they're changing work too.

I still don't think TVs need digital assistant capabilities :D

@Michelle but I don't think it's really about the tech. There are kids who grow up with housekeeprs in the house who also expect to be served and never to have to clean up after themselves.

@Ariella I've read a bit about parents who are worried about kids growing up without manners. They boss the computer and speak the same way to humans.
