My husband is wheelchair-bound. With Alexa he has a
great deal of control of his environment in ways that
make him much more independent. Others might enjoy
Echo for fun and convenience, but for him it is a lifeline!

I can get out of bed and say quietly, ‘Alexa,
turn on the kitchen light.’ And then I can see
where I’m going so I don’t fall down the
stairs.

seeing the landscape of tents and dirt, searching for
where they ended. But no, the tents went on forever.
