Amazon recently launched its Echo Show, which brought us a visual display for its smart speaker. The screen changes the Echo experience a bit, and I wonder if we're ready to live in a world that looks like something out of the movie Star Trek.
The Echo Show experience It is like having a laptop on your table, one that uses artificial intelligence, which allows you to talk to it, and that it responds to you, and which can reveal different images on its screen. It searches the web for the answers you are looking for.
Imagine the movie Star Trek, the Enterprise ship, the crew of the ship could talk to the ship and it would respond to them and also display results on a screen. Similarly, the artificial intelligence assistant, Alexa, can orally answer your questions, and the Echo Show can teach more information to the answers you need. It is very impressive what this product can do.
This is how computational devices will advance. However, whenever a device is going to transform the market, that is the resistance that exists to this change. People are not always ready to adapt to new technology as quickly as it evolves.
A consumer piece of cake consists of people who are ready to buy now, those who like to play with new technology and new devices. They are typically the ones who adapt to this type of technology more easily and quickly. Then time passes and more is written about the products and how commercial it becomes over time and people start to adapt to this, and so the next wave of consumers will arrive and then the next and so it will be.
