We’re all familiar with Apple’s Siri and Microsoft’s Cortana, two “smart assistant” products designed to make our lives easier. Now, Amazon released a product of their own called Echo which comes in the form of a voice activated cylindrical device. I recently purchased an Echo and had the opportunity to test it out. In my opinion the Echo is far superior to any smart assistant product available today. It does everything from play music and read the news to create to do lists and order products from Amazon. It’s actually a fascinating little device that has dramatic implications for creating “smart homes” and “smart offices.” In this episode of the Future in 5 I talk about the potential impact that the Amazon Echo can have on our personal and work lives.
