Mum and Dad in Amazon's promotional video make me wonder if they can even wipe their bottoms without some device instructing them on how to do it. With people being dumbed down to such a degree that they will rather ask some device for information instead of reading up on the subject, I wouldn't be surprised if some artificial intelligence considered mankind as being surplus to requirement in the future.

Anyway, what's the point of having huge music collections at your command when you are going to hear the music on some squawking mini-speaker?
