Alexa, what is the weather today?
Alexa, how old was Franklin Delano Roosevelt
when he died?
Alexa, how many days in February this year?
Alexa, Who starred in the movie, Silence of
the Lambs?
Alexa, what is 754 divided by 7?
Alexa, what year did man first land on the moon?
...how many ounces in a cup?
...the population of Figi?
...the land mass of Russia in square miles?
...how many poems did Emily Dickinson write
in her lifetime?
...define agoraphobia?
Alexa, where is my order from Amazon?
Alexa, this…?
Alexa, that…?
And the answers come immediately,
not quite at the speed of light, but
certainly in the bat of an eye.
Alexa, where have you (AI) been all my
life? I could have used you as I grew.
I could have been a Harvard professor or
at least Jeopardy guru.
Oh well, damn it! I made it to age 75 anyway.
Alexa, play Beethoven’s 9th Symphony for me.
Alexa, volume up!
Alexa, wake me when it's done.
