It must be Friday, because you're looking at your early access link to the weekend video! Similar to my "Freedom Phone" video, this week's topic was also brought to my attention by a Patreon subscriber who let me know about this campaign by a mother to get the Amazon Echo's "Alexa" wake-word changed to something else because people are now BULLYING her daughter, who just so happens to be named Alexa. As a Canadian with the last name "Buckley", I know a little about growing up with a name associated with a product (Buckley's Cough Syrup!) and so as you can imagine, I probably heavily sympathize with this mother and her child right? Hahahaha no...
Amazon's Echo devices: a fun way to make your home seem more "futuristic" by being able to start your music and find out the weather via voice commands? OR... a gateway to BULLYING!? One mother seems to think it's the second one, as a campaign called "Alexa is a Human" seeks to bring awareness to all the living, breathing Alexas of the world who are being harassed and, yes, BULLIED, simply because Amazon chose to use their name as a voice command. Buckley wonders what happened to bullying.
