Smart Home Devices
Technology for sure is a gift that keeps giving. Life is so much easier with smart home appliances such as voice activated assistants. A great example is Alexa by Amazon. Voice activated assistants do several tasks such as marking your calendar, keeping records of your to-do lists, opening curtains, switching on the TV and informing you about the weather and trending stories. They are spread out in the house, always listening but only function when their activation phrase is uttered.
