I don't know how to feel about this. On one side are the privacy implications.

On the other hand, 16 year old me would have loved this. This is the pervasive computing of sci-fi made real. All information is just a tap away. Control lights or run a compute job using a custom Alexa Skill.

Sci-fi also showed us the risks of such things, if not implemented properly. STtNG had several episodes where the U.S.S. Enterprise was commandeered via voice hacks.

What are the implications that differ from already having Alexa running on your smartphone in your pocket, which the ring requires?
