My favorite piece of technology

 Amazon Echo Dot with Alexa virtual assistant.

It is a speaker that has a microphone to listen to what you say starting the sentence with "Alexa" followed by what you want to ask and/or request. It is my favorite piece of technology, because it is very practical to control it just by talking to it. It works very similar to Apple's virtual assistant called "Siri". You can also connect Alexa to your light bulbs, like those from Ikea, to turn them on or off with your voice, or link them to heating controls so you can control and change the temperature in your home. In this regard, Alexa makes a great smart home controller, and once linked to Alexa, it can be accessed through any device that supports Alexa voice commands. Of course, for the above, all devices must be compatible with technology and are much more expensive than conventional ones.

However, I use this smart speaker to set timers when I cook, I ask it for my favorite music, I ask it about the weather, you can ask it to play any radio station, even ask it to tell me a joke, it has many extra functions, in addition it has good sound quality and can be connected to a more powerful sound system with an aux cable. So I highly recommend it. It helps me program simple things much faster and has made my life much easier. My mom used to think that there was a person who was somewhere answering and they never slept.
