Voice assistants will change the way we interact with the internet and "Alexa", "Siri" and "Ok Google" will become familiar phrases in the near future. We’re quickly moving from interacting with just screens to devices we can talk to from a distance while doing other things... and it’s definitely going to change the way we search for information, entertainment, products and services...

In this episode I also touch on search engine optimisation and how that will change with the adoption of voice controlled search.
