While walking at the mall, being tracked by my phone, I stumbled across this refrigerator with an error code in it's internet connection. I don't know as I want my refrigerator to know that much. We looked at appliances for the kitchen the sales guy had to demonstrate a matched set that you entered the inventory of what was on hand and it would plan your menus and give you step by step directions. I was horrified.
1: Do you have a voice activated smart device in the house?
2: What is your success level on voice activated devices?
3: Do you let technology automatically reorder or refill for you?
4: Have you ever done an online search, then been inundated with ads?
5: Do you go into incognito mode before doing searches or visiting some webpages?
My Answers:
1: Do you have a voice activated smart device in the house? There is a video Alexa box in the kitchen, and Amazon is forever suggesting cook books.
2: What is your success level on voice activated devices? I have never made the voice option work on the GPS in the Benz. NEVER or me, it only responds the master's voice.
3: Do you let technology automatically reorder or refill for you? No, I don't need that much organization in my life. I ordered packing tape on Amazon and it asked if I wanted to put that on automatic refill mode, who uses that much packing tape?
4: Have you ever done an online search, then been inundated with ads? Who hasn't?
5: Do you do into incognito mode before doing searches or visiting some webpages? From time to time
Please share your answers in the comments!
1: Do you have a voice activated smart device in the house? I have Siri on my phone and iPad, but I rarely use it.
ReplyDelete2: What is your success level on voice activated devices? Fine. Except for Ditzy Dora [the Explorer], our car’s navigation system.
3: Do you let technology automatically reorder or refill for you? No.
4: Have you ever done an online search, then been inundated with ads? Probably every time.
5: Do you go into incognito mode before doing searches or visiting some webpages? I should always.
I don't as often as I should
Delete1. Siri is on my phone. We don't have Alexa or Google Home (or whatever it's called). We got a Google device and gave it away as a gift.
ReplyDelete2. Siri has about a 68% success rate of getting me for what I ask.
3. My husband does with the dog food only. The scheduling of that is still very very hit and miss.
4. Yes. Even worse, in Yahoo mail, if friends and I talked about something, like say a cruise, the ads would automatically be about cruise lines. We all went to Gmail. It helped, but not completely. On the plus side, I was looking at a piece of art and got 100 ads with that art image. I didn't purchase bc I looked at it SO often in such a short time, I said, "yeah, I don't want to see that ALL the time", so I didn't purchase.
5. I think we try, but I think the websites / internet are onto that anyway.
Gmail does seem to know themes or key words
Delete1: Do you have a voice activated smart device in the house? I have Siri on the phone and sometimes she's too much.
ReplyDelete2: What is your success level on voice activated devices? Pretty good, I think.
3: Do you let technology automatically reorder or refill for you? Never.
4: Have you ever done an online search, then been inundated with ads? Yes, I still get ceiling fan ads all over social media.
5: Do you go into incognito mode before doing searches or visiting some webpages? Not really. I figure there's always another way they'll find me.
It could be worse than ceiling fans
Delete1. No, except for Siri on my iPhone.
ReplyDelete2. Siri works well, although I only use it to set alarms.
3. No, absolutely not. NO MACHINE WILL REPLACE ME! lol
4. Absolutely. In fact, right now, DavidsTea is stalking me everywhere, including on your blog!
5. No, I don't bother but then again, I DON'T VISIT PORN SITES.
I was working on a PowerPoint yesterday and searching for definitions of mental health terms, I should have gone incognito. The pharacutical manufacturers will spend a fortune chasing me after those searches.
Delete1: Do you have a voice activated smart device in the house? No (except for my phone)
ReplyDelete2: What is your success level on voice activated devices? None
3: Do you let technology automatically reorder or refill for you? Never
4: Have you ever done an online search, then been inundated with ads? all the time
5: Do you go into incognito mode before doing searches or visiting some webpages? No, never have
I have a portable Garmin GPS, that responds to voice commands from music that is playing,
DeleteDo you have a voice activated smart device in the house? We use siri on our phones, watches, ipads, apple TV, and have Apple Homepods scattered around the house. We have all of our lights on voice command and can turn various lights on and off by voice.
ReplyDelete2: What is your success level on voice activated devices? 99% successful, with the rare blip.
3: Do you let technology automatically reorder or refill for you? Just our prescriptions, but that's really the Pharmacy, not so much technology. Otherwise, no.
4: Have you ever done an online search, then been inundated with ads? Always.
5: Do you go into incognito mode before doing searches or visiting some webpages? Sometimes, if I remember to. I don't think it really helps.
