How have people lived with Alexa so long? I have had her from the beginning. Now I'm buying her as gifts. She now has capabilities to call and message, play jeopardy , keep shopping lists, play music, every week she gets smarter, and you get and email to hear about it. Can be an interactive device with other home gadgets too ie Nest and Lifx lights. So cost efficient go buy it today. All others are imitation

I like the Alexa, although it is pricey. It makes choosing music and getting certain information easy. I would like some flexibility to change its name, though.
