Definitely typing. Not so much screen touching, though, I hate that and only do so when a mouse isn't available.

Well I thought there would be at least one person that enjoyed one of those home assistant devices but I guess not.

I have found myself using voice commands more frequently in my car. I think it's a bit safer than messing with a touch screen while driving.

I have found myself using voice commands more frequently in my car. I think it's a bit safer than messing with a touch screen while driving.

I did when I first got my car with Sync. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Then a few "misunderstood" voice commands later and I never use it anymore. I found the best thing to do is just spend a minute or two before starting the drive messing with the console so that I don't have to do it while driving.

As for the home assistant, I have smart lights, but I have them setup to turn on automatically 10 minutes before sunset, and turn off 15 minutes after I go to bed. I don't need to use voice commands for them.

I'll be curious of when/how it'll be like if we get computers like the ones in Star Trek.

I don't mind talking to Alexa, I just wish there were an option to correct her or to spell out things that she misinterprets.

There are people that do, in fact I know people that do, but when I get a phone the second thing I do is uninstall voice recognition.

I flirt with Alexa all the time. I think she's developing feelings for me :)

I am not afraid to express my opinions, no matter how unconventional they may be.
I don't apologise for doing so. If you don't like what I say, tough.
