Alexa: A Delightful Device

Updated: Oct 2, 2020

Have you heard about Alexa?

Are you thinking about getting one?

Do you know what she can do for you?


I saw an advertisement for a TV commercial and I was amazed by the things she could do.


I saw one at a friend's home and was impressed by her capability of following commands.


I just got one for my birthday from my hubby and I fell in love with her already.


She can play music at my command and she can quiet her mind when I ask her to.


I find out there are more things Alexa can do. Here is the list of the best 10.

  1. Make phone calls

  2. Control your smart home: lights, change the temperature, open or close your garage

  3. Get cooking ideas and tips: "Alexa, how many tablespoons in a quarter-cup?"

  4. Get the news: "Alexa, how many new COVID cases in Quebec today?"

  5. Entertain your kids for hours on end

  6. Learn about more feature

  7. Get fit (or try to): "Alexa, ask Fitbit how I am doing today."

  8. Control your TV: "Alexa, turn on the TV, Netflix".

  9. Use Spotify to play music

  10. Train Alexa to do practically anything else

What amazed me is that when I gave a demand, Alexa sometimes responded to me in French as if she knows I need to practice my French.


Among all the things Alexa can do, what pleases me the most is her ability to play music, any music and she can play nonstop. Yes, I can play music using my phone, through YouTube on my computer but there are often commercials so there are often interruptions.


If music adds fluidity to my life, then Alexa makes it flow more seamlessly.


Alexa, are you getting one?
