Hey guys, Did you ever think that this is the way the world is going?
Walk in to a room and say lights on, or tv on, Voice recognition is coming along with leaps and bounds so the echo and the siri speaker are things that we will sooner rather than later have in our homes to work with home automation It's just that apple and amozon are the ones leading the way currently But I also don't see myself at this oint getting one unless it's really going to be able to help with things such as paying my bills by giving it payment instructions or telling me what the answer to my top 10 questions in life are, But lets just wait and see what is coming. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of E.T.

What I was saying was, don't make a judgement before the facts are known. Saying "I will not buy this because Siri is not that good" falls flat. I also am not interested in an Echo. First, I do not see a reason for one. Second, my budget is not where I could splurge on it. Third, why on earth do I want to have a conversation with a box?! From E.T.'s Keyboard. . .
