Let's fix things 12 - Here we go again on Echo and Philips


Listen Later

Guus opens with a position of bot script writer from booking.com while Joe recaps his comedic conversation with an AT&T sales rep he could only assume was a bot.

Joe finally got his Echo set up and decides to hijack half the show discussing topics from content discovery, and dealing with remembering voice commands, to hilarious situations from having friends use it.

"Alexa, why are you stupid"
"I'm sorry, I'm still learning"
"ohhhhhh, now I feel bad… ohhhh… why does it say that??"

Guus and Joe go over again why screens are still important and brush over the topic that voice, bot, and language commands are changing the way designers need to think about system UI.

They finally get to the main topic of discussing the Philips healthcare wearables release which got sidetracked from the previous week. They go over a few other wrist wearables discussing impacts for insurance companies, dealing with multiple wearables, and if they are actually useful.
