Long before smartphones and smart speakers took over, people in Texas and across the world had to rely on books, elders, and their own memory to find answers. You’d use a dictionary, a thesaurus, or even ask a teacher or in-law to get help.
But times have changed.
Today, you can just ask a question and your smart device will reply instantly. Want to know how many ounces are in a gallon? Curious about how long lions live or how far away Mars is? Just ask Alexa or another smart assistant and you’ll get the answer in seconds — often with some extra fun facts too!
What Alexa Can Do (Besides Just Answering Questions)
Alexa and other smart speakers do more than just talk. They can:
- Set alarms and reminders
- Control your home’s lights and thermostat
- Play your favorite songs
- Manage shopping lists
- And even tell jokes!
But one of the most fun things to do is to ask silly or weird questions just to see how Alexa responds. You might be surprised by how clever (and funny) the answers are!
