"Telescreen" would be more appropriate, except Alexa doesn't have a screen. As a second choice "Big Brother" would do.
Now, I'm not that paranoid that I think anyone would bother monitoring me. If they did, I should probably apologize to the agent(s) tasked with it for boring them to tears, the bad singing in my car, lack of porn or anything even remotely interesting, eclectic taste in music, my obsession with fail videos, etc. They should definitely get hazard pay and free psychological help.... However, I am saying it could be done with relative ease. Worse, it could be done by hackers looking to steal personal information. For me the risks of exposure to criminals and general invasion of privacy are not worth the benefits.
Why are these things women? Why are feminists not going berserk on them? I've been getting along without Cortana, Alexa, and Siri.
I don't need music, video, or people talking to fill my day. Maybe someday when I can't do things for myself, I will get one of these female slaves to do my bidding.
Don’t need it. Don’t want it. Won’t buy it.

Not really
And it wasn’t funny so hardly a jke
“I will never buy one of these. Is there a sixth category?”
We’re in the “Not stupid enough to buy one” category.
“except Alexa doesn’t have a screen”
Your post shows what you don’t know.
Yes. Merci beaucoup.
Why do people who have no interest in the topic come and insult fellow freepers?
“this becuase the fuzz have openly sued to get the recording form a geographic area. We would they sue to gain access to what supposedly does not exist?”
I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you did not make that up and you can provide a soure.
Yes mine, which is hell no! I will use my android cell phone to talk to google for a search but that is all. The only reason I do that is it is quicker and easier than typing it on on a cell phone.
Yep. 24/7 wiretap pretending to sleep until you wake it up. That thing is listening all the time. Not welcome in my house.

Credit Cards, Internet, Smart Phones, and some observing TVs...
I trust the marketplace more than I trust creeps like Clapper that have undeserving access to the entirety of personal data.
That said, Alexa once activated while my wife and I were having a vigorous dispute nearby. It was quite humorous as we both were instantly tongue-tied — staring at each other in deafening silence...
I bought a tractor because it’s easier to move 30 cubic yards of dirt & rock with a tractor than a shovel and wheelbarrow.
No insulting, because we have a curiosity about those that need so many crutches from electronic baubles to get through life.
Your hilarious list of things you need your plastic toy to provide, that which you cannot figure out on your own are illustrative of what we are curious about.......
The correct answer is that there is no last digit of pi.
I posed the question to my Google Home, and she answered 2.7 trillion (the current record for human attempts) and then cited the true fact that the expansion is infinite.
Yeah I think we all know that. :-)
