Alexa, be my friend: Children talk to technology, but how does it respond?

Alexa should be treated as a different kind of stranger. I think it's a huge mistake for children to talk to computers. It's inherently dishonest for a single voice to represent something so manipulative and fluid as if it's a person.

This is a beautiful analogy and it applies for adults interacting with Alexa / Google home as well.
