The day isn’t far off when Alexa will be smarter than her operators. Then again, with the new Amazon Echo Show, the time isn’t far off when Alexa will also be better looking. With premium speakers and a vibrant 10″ HD screen, the Amazon Echo Show is eerily similar to the first generations digital communicators seen in Paycheck. But before any doomsayers read too much into that reference, let’s just focus on the enhancements that the new Amazon Echo Show brings to the table (or more aptly put, living room, bedroom, or kitchen).
Watch live TV and sports, enjoy Prime Video movies, or settle those pesky arguments about the correct lyrics to Barenaked Ladies’ song “One Week,” all of this and more is possible with the new Amazon Echo Show. You can even make video calls, listen to uninterrupted music as you shout a new grocery list at Alexa, and enjoy the benefits of over 50,000 skills. Come to think of it, if Alexa has over 50,000 skills and counting, it might just be time for us to stop shouting at her and instead ask for her help polishing our CVs.
