I feel like ordering something from Amazon!😜

1. Start with an Echo Dot.

Play with Alexa, get comfortable, and then start buying Smart plugs, bulbs, etc. I'll see you at the 12-step meeting.

2. I have Alexa.

Do I need a Dot too? Please advise.

3. If you have Alexa service...

...via an Echo, Dot or Fire TV, you're in!

5. What does the Dot do

that Alexa doesn't? I could get a free one with Fedex points but wasn't sure I "needed" one.

6. The Dot is still Alexa, but smaller

If offered for free? Snag it!

Then, play with it. I was way-skeptical about what use I'd get out of it, until I started attaching "skills" to it. Now, when I say "good morning" to it, my coffee is made, my news is read and it even starts my car!

7. Thanks!

I'll check one out. Starts your car?? That's pretty cool.

4. I don't know

I just have Alexa. I sure enjoy my Amazon prime which was a gift.
