Granny's gone and done it again

I have a new Alexa on the way. She isn't working right.
And no, it isn't because I am speaking to a tuna can. But I feel as though I am.
Its supposed to come by Wednesday. View attachment 4295577

I don’t get the alexa / siri craze going on.

I wouldn't have one. There's a computer in your house that is LISTENING to you. You think it's only listening when you holler "Hey, Siri" at it? No. It is listening all the time. It has to, in order to respond when you say "Hey, Siri." Bloody creepy if you ask me. And who else is listening?

In fact my phone has a "Bixby" that I use to set timers. He's listening, too. Bloody spy. I should take him out and shoot him at dawn.

Not a craze, at least I dont think so. That thing helps me out a lot. If I'm busy in the kitchen and don't want to get on the phone, it's my timer, my music, news, weather, let's me know when I have packages coming then when they've arrived. The kids have fun asking it jokes.
Alexa, what time is it?

Bed. I'm babbling.

No mobile phone, no airconditioner, minimal electronic intervention.
The simple life for me. No artificial joints, only one tablet a day for my blood preasure. Must be doing something right as I approach my 70th
