CES 2017 next breakthrough is here. They have made Siri into a box and named it the Amazone echo or Alexa for short. There are Alexa-compatible air purifiers, self-driving cars, even refrigerators. Amazone Echo is a cylinder-shaped speaker that comes pre-loaded with Alexa. With sales of about 5 million of this November. If Alexa was only a voice-controlled speaker, it would still be a success. Early on, Alexa’s abilities were limited. It had the ability to answer random trivia questions for example. But once Alexa could control other devices like Philips Hue bulbs and the Nest Thermostat, the assistance became much more useful.
The reason I chose this article is because I like new tech and it would be great to see a better Siri. Most of the time you can't talk to Siri because of the voice search. If you had Alexa than you could turn on the lights just by saying "Alexa, turn on the lights" and then the lights would turn on in seconds. You could aslo say "Alexa, show me how to make apple pie" and you would get the recipe for apple pie. I thinks this will really change the world for the better.
