Voice control for the masses

Voice-activated gadgets are in vogue at T3 and one of our faves is the Amazon Echo. This is the Amazon Echo Dot: the squat, inexpensive version of its bigger brother, giving you smart functionality without the built-in speaker. With Alexa baked in, you can simply ask it to do tedious everyday tasks such as play music or control your smart devices around the home.
