I am sure many people in the blindness world know me as an advocate for technology and a tech enthusiast, so it won’t be a surprise when I say this. When you buy an internet device you make the decision to put information out there whether you like it or not. The only way to prevent your information from going to the wrong hands is to be mindful as a consumer. I think Amazon and Google have a responsibility to make their devices as secure as possible, and I think they do an ok job at it. I think Amazon does a better job than Google, but the same thing goes for our phones. There are more and more points of failure as tech becomes more complicated and that is just the price we pay for advancement. I do think it is important for everyone to be mindful as they buy technology but I don’t think smart speakers are any different from any other device.
