Can you trust a smart speaker？

-
Q1: Do you have a smart speaker at home?
A  : Yes, I have two smart speakers. One of them is Apple’s Siri, which helps me operate my phone better. The other one is TmallGenie.  By giving it voice indications, It can control domestic appliances, play music, top up my phone and so on. They all bring convenience to my life. 
Q2: What is a smart speaker？
A   : A smart speaker is a type of wireless speaker and voice command device, with an integrated virtual assistant that offers interactive actions and hands-free activation, with the help of one "hot word" (or several "hot words").


Q3: How does a smart speaker work?
A  : Basically, you give it a voice command and it does what you want. According to the research, although each smart speaker system is slightly different, when looking at how they work, typically the smart speaker listens to all speech and awaits a “wake word.” Also, it will analyze and  learn how you speak so the system can provide a better service.

First , I am a person pursuing perfection . On the one hand, I will throw myself into everything I work. One the other hand, I soberly aware how heavy the workload will be to be perfect. So, I will spend a lot of time on struggling . Second , my life is at ease now , I don't have to worry about anything, whether it is study or daily life. Third , the first two reasons lead to my lack of ambition , I gradually really don't care what the results will be.     Through the TED Talk " Inside the mind of a master procrastinator."
