\"amazon-echo\"<\/p>\n

I recently taught a class on emerging media and technology as a part of the Drake Master of Communication Leadership program<\/a>. In my research for the class, I stumbled across the Amazon Echo<\/a>. <\/p>\n

And now I want one. Badly. I even signed up for Amazon Prime to hopefully increase my chances of moving up the wait list.<\/p>\n

Echo is basically like a Siri that sits in your room and can play music. It answers your questions and plays music. You can ask it what the weather is going to be like, or ask it to look up things. I will never have to remember anything ever again.<\/p>\n

And the video about it is hilarious.<\/p>\n
