Is there a product like this just for kids: a furry, friendly, interactive, mobile, voice-based connection to the internet? It could be an early learning tool (and source of great annoyance and surprise hilarity). Kids could learn to make apps for their wrapped Alexa, apps that help them help themselves and their friends, parents, etc...

[I am now imagining the Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" where all tribbles are Alexa wrappers... X_x save me!]

It would be a security nightmare and you’d be targeting kids.

Hm, yeah, maybe a DIY or Kit is better than full-fledged product. But is it just as bad as giving your child an iPad with Siri?

In the case of the iPad they get to say they’re not targeting kids specifically and the rest is on the parent, but oh god yes I agree with the point you’re making.
