I've owned Amazon's second-generation Echo Show for about six months now. I find having a screen on my digital assistant extremely helpful.
, the one with the screen, for six months now, and I really enjoy using it. As we see more and more digital assistants with screens attached, I think the overall design just makes sense.the information that is being presented to me, and having the screen often times provides some additional information you wouldn't hear from Alexa coming from a screen-less speaker.
To give you a better sense of the specific use cases I'm talking about, I decided to shoot video of all the functions that I use my Echo Show for. Throughout all of my videos below, I cut off the beginning prompt where I say"Alexa" so your Echo isn't accidentally triggered when watching.It's great to see everything at a glance with the Echo show. It will rotate through your upcoming events for the day and give you interesting suggestions for how to use Alexa.
I also programmed my Echo to tell me the weather and subway status before it starts playing my flash briefing. Seeing the weather on screen adds a lot more context to the report, and you can see a few days at a glance. And note: my subway skill has been finicky lately. I have to now tell Alexa"next" to have it go through each subway line. Otherwise, I love it.
I think these new assistants with screens attached will become the new form factor that becomes the norm as big tech companies continue to infiltrate our personal living space with... well... more screens. But, for me, this little guy has been a helpful asset to my life.
