> old people who want to show they have something cool and hip

These are always pretty amusing. I went on vacation with a girl I was dating one summer, and her parents brought their Alexa with them. Her dad thought it was so cool, and he loved to show me by saying "alexa, play <music>" three times until he got frustrated enough to just do it with his phone. Then, he'd say "hey alexa, you're a b*tch," and laugh when it responded by telling him that was rude.

Why would anyone pay money for that???

I tell people who show me their smartwatches and features "oh yeah? My watch tells me the time!"
