My desktop and console are wired and I have reliable 200 Mbit Internet. There are a few things my phone is very good at picking up and I use it for voice commands there. My friends have Echos and Dots and they're great! No one has to get up from the table to pick a song!

Man, my life is good. The secret? Get good Internet. Wire what you can. Get a damned good wifi router for the rest. Know your tools.

I buy paper books because they're much cheaper but take my Kindle when traveling.
