^^^Perfect anology !

I am pretty anti-technology, and don't agree with an electronic butler, but my wife got one for Christmas. I have only ever used it to turn off an upstairs light that was left on. I'm sure I would have been accosted (by my wife) for actually physically turning off the light switch.

I also have zero Apps on my phone, and don't see the need for constant gameplay like my son does.

So far, I'm not really impressed by Google Home. I think maybe these things will be more useful in the coming years. By that time, I'll want the Amazon Echo Silver...

Here is what I do during the day/week a lot

set reminders, a lot of them

take down notes on various projects I'm doing (biggest time suck running to computer to enter new info/thoughts/idea into spreadsheets/Word docs

check financial stuff

weather

Notes on customer jobs: "spent 1 hour drilling out and retapping bolts, add to invoice"

recipes

send a text to friend asking about...


Does it do all of that? What doesn't it do?

I don't care if it listens in.

I have a nice stereo for music, it's pretty old but I think the Rotel pre-amp might be able to connect if I wanted it to.

I do all of that with my phone..
