My journey with Alexa began when I was at my brother’s house one day, and my 4-year-old nephew was showing off Alexa. He was excitedly asking Alexa about sharks and changing the Phillips lights so he could party. Then at work, my coworker was telling me how he was outfitting his house to be a smart home.
