I bought the Echo Dot (Alexa) over the Christmas holidays for $25. If anyone had said I would enjoy a silly speaker this much, I would have thought them crazy.

I listen to music all day, get current temp and weather report, find out football game scores, get stats of players, listen to a joke now and then - lots of other things. Alexa even notifies me when Amazon delivers a package.

Just amazing. Everyone should have one of these or maybe the Google Home device. However I cringe at the Google device that has a camera and would not buy one of those.
