TALKING SPEAKERS

For proof that Alexa/Siri-style digital assistants are becoming ubiquitous, see Vizo's latest soundbars, which have Google Assistant built-in but barely bother mentioning it. Built-in Chromecast is what they shout about instead. Vizio SmartCast $250-$500 (£193-£386 approx), vizio.com

ECHO, ECHO ON THE WALL…

Amazon wants you to put an Alexa-equipped Echo Look in your bedroom, so you can take selfies in your latest gladrags. It can even compare two outfits to tell you which looks best. Just remember to switch it off when you’re done… Amazon Echo Look $200 (£155 approx), amazon.com

SELFIE SERVANT

This tiny quadcopter sports a 5MP camera, weighs just 61g and comes with a charging station that doubles as a smartphone case. It only flies for three minutes, but as it’s designed purely for taking selfies, that shouldn’t be too much of a problem. AirSelfie €358 (£300 approx), airselfiecamera.com
