I'm American. This makes sense, if anyone was going to order awhat seems like a range extender, for a device that just brings you stuff you were too lazy to type, it would be Americans.

Googleglass problem. The interface is me yelling publicly. So not super sure that is going to be adopted well.

I use them in my home. Being able to ask it to set a cooking timer while my hands are full is pretty awesome.

Echo is one of those things where it became magically awesome by being somewhat more accurate than I'd expect. Also, Amazon is updating the service back ends, and it is now extensible.

It's you yelling in your home. It's fine, your dog won't judge you.
