Alexa doesn’t hesitate. According to a story in Bloomberg this week, Amazon also has a “top-secret plan to build home robots.” So instead of just living with the disembodied voice of Alexa, Amazon wants us to sneak physical assistants into our homes. If you thought Amazon Dash was vaguely intrusive, imagine when Amazon moves past instant-ordering buttons and into the realm of life services. I can honestly imagine a day in which the company hires doctors for Amazon House Call and sends mechanics to wherever your car is parked for Amazon Oil Change. I can picture Amazon Dog Walker, Amazon Retirement Planning, Amazon Vacations, Amazon De-Clutter, Amazon Call Your Mother, Amazon Tax Filing, Amazon School Concert Stand-In, Amazon Carnal Services, Amazon Nap, Amazon Light Bulb Swap, Amazon Spring Cleaning, Amazon Yard Sale, Amazon Shoe Tying ...From Amazon Home Birth to Amazon Funerals, the company will be involved in every stage of our lives until Jeff Bezos owns the entire planet and our every thought, dream and consumer whim qualifies for free two-day shipping.
