Which is why I always say ' please and thank' you to Alexa.

This drives my wife mad!

PS I just say it was because I was raised properly.

You jest, but a friend who does occasional care of his grandchildren has noticed a dramatic change in their behaviour since the arrival of Alexa in their family’s ‘smart’ home.

It would seem that they’ve become so used to issuing commands in a curt, loud voice with no ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ that they now do it when talking to their parents at home, and their grandparents in a completely different setting. Impatience when grandpa doesn’t hear or understand them first time is another symptom.

I point blankly refuse to have anything like an Alexa in my home or on the property

Absolutely right. I am now worried about whether Bill or Melinda Gates will get to have access to my head once their divorce finalises. And don't get me started on 5G masts...
