In my home I have both an Amazon Alexa and a Google Nest. Why? I’d hate for one major international conglomerate to know all my secrets and not the other. I’m also dumb. But I’m smart enough to know each device is equally infuriating. No one else in my house is named “Alexa.” It should know my voice and how to set a 20-minute timer so I don’t burn my rice. Also, I shouldn’t have to slowly yell “Hey Google” for my Mini Nest to tell me the weather. However, despite my experiences with similar technology, I’m still going to try Spotify‘s new “Hey Spotify” feature. Because while I can already imagine it being as wonky as other voice-activated devices, I’m still incredibly lazy.
