    The Consumer Electronics Show is on at the moment and lots of new products are being announced. What is really noticeable is how Amazons Alexa is being built into so many third party companies products!

    For example Alexa is being built into Ford cars, multiple companies TV's, new speakers from Lenovo, Alexa for kids from Mattel, even fridges from LG!

    Plus loads of devices are gaining the ability to be controlled by Alexa, security alarm systems from ADT, routers, you can even turn on your cars engine! (Ford and Hyundai).

    Great to see Alexa spreading to so many devices, this is exactly what I envisioned would happen. I assume Goggle Home will follow suit over the next few months. Apple, Facebook and Microsoft better hurry up with their solutions or be left behind.
