Amazon wants Alexa everywhere.

The online shopping giant said Wednesday that it will soon start selling wireless earbuds, finger rings and prescription eyeglasses with its Alexa voice assistant built in.

The goal: Get Alexa outside the home and wherever customers are.

"You can have Alexa with you 24/7," said Werner Goertz, a personal technology analyst at Gartner.

IOW, they want to know exactly what you're doing and saying and who you're with 24/7/365.

Orwell predicted this, too.

We’re doing outstandingly well these days... We have doublethink firmly in play (as the Millennial SJWs have mastered it), and now we will have constant surveillance.

Or, as Leonard Cohen sang: “Everybody knows that the scene is dead, but there’s gonna be a meter on your bed that will disclose... What everybody knows.”

[rktman]

Um, NO! Disconnect now! “I’m sorry Dave. You may not disconnect.” Kind of like Hotel California.

Next up the Alexa talking brain chip.

[[and now we will have constant surveillance.]]

And the people using it will shrug and say “Well, it makes my life easier this way”

Steely Tom doesn’t want Alexa anywhere.

The forgot the soon to be released Alexa Suppository.

Then Alexa will tell you what to think
Alexa is the Borg Queen.
We only want to improve the quality of life for all species.

Lol. Or Hal in 2001 A Space Odyssey.

Coming soon: Alexa on your finger

Hmmm, I wonder what that means.

[rktman]

My memory card is warped.

[montag813]

Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head

Sorry, but Alexa is annoying and fairly stupid. They will have to upgrade her program considerably for me to want to carry it around.

[DoughtyOne]

Alexa is not my type of girl.

No thanks.

Now Siri with the Australian female voice, that’s the ticket.

[Right Wing Assault]

Neither.

[Secret Agent Man]

nope

[ProtectOurFreedom]

What they REALLY want to know is how much money is in your wallet and how to make you spend it at Amazon.

[Hot Tabasco]

and on your finger

and ultimately in your nose.

[Hot Tabasco]

Or, as Leonard Cohen sang:

He was a master of actual song writing........
