I got a device this fall. It is one of those talk to devices. The main thing I like is that it has photos of the grandchildren on it. They rotate through and I see the things that they have done in their little lives. I can talk to the device and set a timer or ask about the weather. It will also tell me a joke or the animal of the day.
The funny thing to me is that sometimes the device answers the television. I guess it mistakes something on television for a prompt. The answers it gives are ridiculous. It is like having another person who isn't very bright living in my house with me.
