"We have a teenager it's much easier to tell him to get his ass out of bed without having to go to his room multiple times "
Mmmm...I worry for we are passing on to future generations. |

I wouldn't worry too much. Each generation predicts that the future one will be ruined by technology. My father's parents thought the radio spelled the end of family life and that children would lose the use of their legs sitting inside all day listening to it.
Having said that I can't see much use for Alexa in my house Mr N texts me if he wants a cup of coffee in bed ![](/icons/s/mrgreen.gif) |

"Ask Alexa about being connected to the CIA and FBI, it turns itself off..."
It doesn't.......
It is a useful tool if you invest some money and time setting it up to do things. It controls our lights, heating, connected to our music system, leaves messages for each other, sets reminders, the list grows all the time. ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

Mine does, I didn’t believe it either, I saw a video on YouTube, when I tried it myself it does in fact turn itself off |

Nope, I’m not having that I’m afraid. I have just seen your pics and there is NO WAY you are old enough to have a teenager ![](/icons/s/2/halo.gif) |

hiding from cock pics. |
What about the Google home mini? One of my kids wants one for Christmas and I don't completely understand much about it. Do I need to have a Google home as well or can I just get the mini?
Can it do the same things as Alexa? |

I use mine to play music, as an alarm, to check the weather, for a timer or reminder for cooking or tv programmes. Instead of googling questions. For radio listening |

We looked at the Google one too it basically comes down to personal choice the Alexa one works better for us as we use Amazon loads but both are pretty much the same thing comes down to if you already have things from Google play or Amazon |
