How's that smartphone of your's holding out or are you still using smoke signals? Such a stupid response when you actually assess the connected devices you interactive with throughout the day

Do I want to pay £125.05 to have Google snoop on everything said in my house. Hmmm, let me think ... nope, not really.

And your response about smoke signals isn't stupid? On my smart phone, only the phone app has permission to access the microphone. I just think we should be cautiously sceptical about these sorts of services, rather than rush to get them first because they are new and shiny, is that wrong?

It's not like they don't know it all already through my browsing habits and email content. Plus the fact that I use an Android phone, so they know the apps I download etc.

These types of services have been around since 2012 so it's hardly new and shiny. So yes, It is wrong.

Looks like you can do multi room with Google home, according to their website but you have to set up groups of speakers.

I agree, but you're wrong. I'm sure other items have so much access to my data. But I've made that trade-off as the convenience is so fantastic.

I agree the smoke comment wasn't the smartest response, but I was making a point. I work in the industry and am fully aware of the potential of these devices. but the "Big brother" comments become tiresome, everytime you search, walk and move, the device knows exactly what you are doing. At least with this, it's sat in one place and the most exciting conversation it will get from me and my wife is how our days went and what were having for dinner. After using Alexa for 9 months, but selling ourselves to the google eco-system, for me this is a benefit along with the power of google to support it.
I agree new tech like this needs to be approached with caution in some instances.

That's fair enough, my initial comment was deliberately provocative. Basically, I just don't like talking to devices, I'm all for technology, enjoy the benefits and I am not even particularly paranoid about my data being harvested as it will be pretty dull; but, I don't want to talk to it and don't want it listening for me to do so.
