    I can be videoing the kids and say “hey Sadie” and the video stops and Siri starts talking. I need to turn it off.

    I had considered one for some theater room stuff but decided I would just push buttons on my Harmony Hub remote like a Neanderthal instead.

    We have Alexa but she sits on the back porch for music by the pool. The tv, phones, pc are all little tattle tales.

    Siri is active cause of hands free in vehicles.

    I dont think Alexa is gathering your data from you any more or less than your cell phone is. It's not right but that's where we're at with technology.

    Today's my parents 40th wedding anniversary. I couldn't be more proud of them for making it that far.

    RE the poll, no Alexa, but big brother is always spying on us. If you got a smart phone, well you're being spied on. We can talk about something at work and even though we never looked it up on our phones we then get advertisements or YouTube recommendations on it...

    Re: Poll. NOPE! Ain't no way I'm giving Google/MS/Whomever yet more personal data to suffer through yet more targeted advertising. That, and I HATE talking to "things". I talk to people. I don't even like leaving messages on telephone answering machines!
