If you'd like to see a humorous take you've really got to see this.




 Quoting: JellyVision


Soon the Wife tires of the insults of the family interloper,
((Echo)) where are you taking me?,...the garbage disposal whirrs to life,...(Wife) time for you to interface with your own kind....

I agree that this is not much worse than any internet connected device. Funny how the internet just sprang out of nowhere and became a 24/7 presence, along with the cell phone. This device is just another variation.

It's marketing. They listen to you then sell you products based on what they hear you talking about.

People are suckers. They'll actually pay for a device that collects their personal information then sells that information to marketing companies who turn around and sell these idiots more junk they dont need.

People on another board I frequent were all excited about this product and the fact that it was 100 bucks off for Prime members sent them into a tizzy. I had to google it cause I had no idea what it was and I am a prime member lol. No way in the world would I want this in my home.

Both my parents are blind so I'll be getting them one when they're available in the UK. They already have a speech setup for their TV, movies / music etc but this will work well in the kitchen and for knowledge questions.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

In Greek mythology, Echo (Greek: Ηχώ) was the personification of echo. According to Greek mythology Echo was a Nymph who had the job of talking incessantly to Hera, the Queen of the Gods, so that her husband, Zeus, would not get caught in his numerous affairs. Hera caught on to Echo's trick and cursed her to only be able to say what others had just said — hence the word "echo".

Also keep in mind folks that all illuminati agents and members have already had the mark of the beast implanted. They are all of one mind. It is a hive mind.

So they like this kind of stuff and want to get us ready for a hive mind.

Satan uploaded himself a long time ago. This is referenced in movies like Alien and even Oblivion. The computer "Mother" is Satan. Same thing in Star Trek.

It's basically how all things are organized and the propaganda line is so good. It's all controlled by him. Illuminati are just puppet shells. They only think they have free will. They really don't. Just a semblance of acting independently when really they are 100% possessed and psychopathically controlled.

It would be great if the Echo was a complete internet access device that you could use like Google to search and access any information on the web by voice, and have it read back to you. Sound's like this one is just another version of the smart phone's SIRI who gives only limited information.

So a lot of people seem to have a problem with this.

Is the main objection to this (and Google's Siri), that they come from big companies that have links to the government?

Would you trust such a device if it were from a small company, or if it were completely open-sourced, so you could verify what was going on "under-the-hood"?

And coming soon, you guessed it, the iEcho 2.0!

The next model will be equipped with a new feature everyone is sure to love, the "ATTENTION CITIZEN" software package update, which informs you and your family of when you all might be in any kind of violation of the Thought Police. It can also tell you to remain calm until the proper authorities arrive so that any "anomalous event" the iEcho 2.0 may have detected in your home can be investigated. Also, it will remind you of how much your big brother loves you via the daily, pro government affirmations the FCC has decided are best for you and your family needs to hear as the iEcho 2.0's adaptive programming listens, learns and adjusts itself to the needs of you and your family!
