Amazon has achieved something remarkable in the seven years since it introduced the first home speaker with its Alexa voice assistant. I continue to be awed, and a little exhausted, by the relentless pace of new Amazon inventions. It’s best to think of most of these new Amazon things as public experiments. Amazon seems to be making any doodad it can dream up and seeing what people do with it. And Amazon takes cues from what people do with its devices and internet add-ons to tweak them further.
