Alexa whispered: “Don’t you worry. I already ordered a chicken chimichanga with bean/rice from the local Mexican restaurant."
FOOD Graduating from Harvard, Daniel joined a high demanding Wall Street farm. Besides purchasing a latest laptop, he also acquired an Alexa (Amazon), a voice-activated mini-robot programmed to dispersing advice and ordering merchandises. Soon, Daniel read an article how Peru’s ancient Huari pottery-paintings depicted possible rearrangement of everyday life from the advancement of technology. One day, while teleconferencing from his home-office with global clients, Daniel’s meeting got extended way past lunchtime. Hungry, he murmured “A sandwich could have been of a great help.”

Alexa's intelligence seems to be evolving way past being artificial, but Daniel probably enjoyed the lunch.

I wonder what else Alexa is listening to.
A friend who has some vision issues, had gotten use to the Amazon thing sitting on a bookshelf over the holidays, as the Christmas tree stood where its home would normally be. When the holidays came to an end, and Alexa was returned to her normal spot by his wife, he, unaware, went to the bookshelf to ask Alexa to turn on the TV. "I'm over here," she said from her tabletop location. UGH... nice little story, Sankar.

You're ahead of your time, Sankar. But not by much. Getting scary, isn't it?

It is becoming creepier everyday how much our technology knows about us. Great story. Comments are closed.
