Alexa, let's talk about that

I just watched Amazon's commercial of the new gadget Echo and I have to like this product. It's basically bringing the typical futuristic movie scene into real life: a digital butler that answers any questions, play music, broadcast news, set up alarm ... It reminds me of the movie Her, except that in real life Echo isn't strictly an artificial intelligent but a tool to keep you connected to the internet/world all the time. 

The simple and minimalist desire allows it to be able to stand by 24/7, anytime you need just call Alaxa, that's one reason I would get one myself, because although smartphones and tablets can do the same things as taking voice orders, you have to press some buttons and keep the battery running, now Echo can liberate our hands from these troubles, that's the main selling point of this product. 

A digital butler might be integrated in the wall or house so you don't see the physical object, now Echo is our first step towards that stage. I believe in no time we'll be able to have some fun conversation with a bot just like in the movie, to learn knowledge, to share ideas, well, endless possibilities.
