Like some of you, we at MLR Media have been working remotely for months and consider ourselves fortunate that we are able to do so. A silver lining during this difficult COVID-19 pandemic has been spending additional time with my two daughters during weekdays. Both of them, for better or worse, are becoming increasingly adept with technology.
My youngest, who just turned 4, is enamored with our Amazon Echo and the seemingly infinite power she has to command the virtual assistant, Alexa, to do whatever she wants â although we do have her convinced that she needs to say âPleaseâ and âThank youâ for Alexaâs magic powers to work. Given her fondness for our Echo, while seeing me struggle with the many business challenges resulting from COVID-19, my daughter asked me whether I should âjust ask Alexa?â
