First, on the fun side of things, voice-activated assistants are making a huge impact. Leading the way is Amazon Alexa, with Google Home making a recent addition to the marketplace. These devices act as a voice-activated interface for virtually all of the digital devices and appliances in your home or office. Simply speak the activation phrase, and the near-dormant device fires up and awaits your command. You can ask it to give you the weather, play a song from Spotify, dim or brighten your lights or power up the hot tub.
