I have a PC plugged on my TV. I can browse local or cloud (Netflix, Youtube, TED, whatever) collections with the TV remote, get things to play, stop, whatever. When I want to do something more complex that would be too time consuming with a remote (not common), there's a wireless keyboard that stays on a drawer.

You can still make things simple and easy. What we are seeing is a complete lack of trying. Probably because those companies just love to have an always listening microphone inside your home, 1984 style.

Certainly there's nothing an Echo or whatever can do that you can't do with any properly-set-up PC or phone. The Echo just does it faster and hands-free. It's not life-changing or revolutionary, but it is handy.
