Wynn Hotels to install Amazon Echo's into every room.

Not so sure this is a good or bad thing. This is basically a digital personal assistant that is ALWAYS ON AND ALWAYS LISTENING. It will play your streaming music in 360 degree digital sound. that's the cool part. It will order you a pizza, call room service, order an Uber ride, answer weather and traffic questions. It can even hear you through the music. It does a lot. The bad news is, THAT THING IS ALWAYS ON AND IS ALWAYS LISTENING!!! Not so sure that's a good thing......

It has a button on the top of the unit if you want to turn it off.
If you don't trust that, you can unplug the unit!

About Echo

Echo is a little speaker-like home automation device that can do everything from streaming music to dimming lights or cranking up the heat on the compatible thermostat.

Initially, Echo had limited features. But it has now gone on to become for a necessity for a smart home.

I have one and this thing is listening all the time. You could have the tv on and if you say "Alexa" it will light up.

Echo is a little speaker


Regarding little brother /sister on steroids. It also learns to adapt to you. So based on what you request, it learns your habits over time. (scary)
