This brought a smile to my face, but my sense of humor is twisted.

You don't mean to say "Alexa" is listening to conversations not directed at Her, do you?

Good one. We called it brainwashing back when I was a kid. Now it's social engineering. "Hey, put this thing in your house. It will make your life sooo easy."

It'd be interesting to see what kind of espionage can be done on the average citizen - through your phone, or various computing devices - whether you talk to it, or type...

As for me: Sure, come over, put a camera on my wall. Hell, just sit down in my living room with your recording equipment. I guarantee you're gonna die of boredom.

Here's my to-do list now:

1) Buy milk.

2) Pull weeds in garden

3) Feed dogs.

4) Pay the light bill.

5) Take the car in for repairs.

You're just *saying* you pay your light bill because you know they're listening.
