DW and I have an agreement, she shows me what I bought her and I do the same.
We tried out a voice operated internet device from Amazon and installed it two days ago. It was the $40 Dot, and hooked the output to an old stereo. It is well worth it to us. We're playing musical 'stump the Dot' and having it play everything from classical, jazz, instrumentals, Christmas music, or anything else that comes to mind. Quick news briefs, weather briefs, and timers have been all that we've used so far, but even that is handy. While getting dressed and washed, getting a temperature check is nice. Timer and alarm is useful in cooking.
All those fun questions that come up are answered before I could retrieve a device, much less type a Google query has been fun, too. Those debates with DW that are mis-membered are quickly brought to a conclusion, and the pay up if I was silly enough to bet on the outcome.
This is only day three. I imagine it will only become more useful as we learn more on how to use it.
