Good! I signed up for the beta on a whim and got one just in time for Christmas, so that was a family present to all of us. At first, we spent a lot of time yelling random orders and questions at it, and that was fun. But after a while, it just faded into the background of our living room and became something that Just Works, like the TV and DVR. How much time do you spend consciously thinking about your TV versus taking it for granted? That's how Alexa is for us now.
Our most used apps:
- Alexa, set a timer for 10 minutes. (Our new standard kitchen timer)
- Alexa, play [...]. (Lots of music in Amazon Prime.)
- Alexa, turn the lights on. (Interfaces with the Hue lighting system to brighten the living room.)
I could live without it, but I could survive without a lot of the tech that makes everyday life a little easier. I'm glad I don't have to, though.
