   Realizing that the intersection of boomers and voice activation is not good. Every time I call my parents, they have the sam rotation of about 20 old songs playing in the background.. Turns out they just tell their amazon box to “play the hits”, and they’re so enthralled by living in the “future” they didn’t notice the limited selection.

   Voice activation sucks ass, you can’t see anything about the mix and it’s just a vehicle for adverts. Hell fm radio is an improvement, at least it has human curation instead of 7 plays per hour of TOTO and that breathy 10cc song

     I brought my dad and his old lady with me when I left California. It was definitely a mistake, because every so often I'll hear a shout of "Alexa set a timer" before they leave the house and forget the timer (that will alarm over the stereo that's been cranked to max volume) or "Alexa shuffle my likes" followed by 45 minutes of top 40 radio from 2005, occasionally interrupted with a shout of "Alexa, skip this song" every couple of tracks and "Alexa turn up/down the volume" for every track. My dad got the message when I asked if he could use the app on his phone instead, but his old lady just got all weepy eyed like I just insulted her entire existence.
