Are smart speakers like Google Home and Amazon's Echo OK for kids? And what are the privacy risks? Here's what parents need to know:

If a genie were to grant your every household-management wish, you'd waste no time making demands:"Add milk to my grocery list";"Lock the doors";"Help my kid with algebra"! The same kind of magic can be had in smart devices -- for a price . But internet-enabled products aren't going"poof" anytime soon. In fact, more than six in 10 parents say their young kids interact with voice-activated assistants.

This guide tells you all about smart devices -- what they are, what they can do for you and your family, how to use them as safely as possible, and how to protect your family's privacy in a world increasingly powered by data.What are smart devices?The"smart" part refers to any device that communicates with other devices over the internet. These types of products can save time, effort, money, and even human life.

Keep your software up to date. Companies release security updates on their software all the time, so you should definitely stay on top of the updates. And it's a good rule of thumb to recheck your privacy settings after an update. Also, make sure your virus protection is current. If you opt for a free virus-protection download, do your research to make sure it's from a reputable company .Periodically review your data. Some companies give you access to at least some of what they collect.

~ got one for my birthday almost a year ago… still sealed in the package.🤷🏼‍♂️

Skynet is not safe for children

Ask Obama... He spied on all of us.... And he will go to jail for it.

Privacy risk: you are being spied upon AND paying for it. Personal risk: you are too lazy to get off the couch.

You'll never see these devices in my home. They listen for key words based on algorithms that you 'accepted' and 'supercookies' track everything you request, ask, say, etc. The biggest privacy scam ever other than 'free' vehicle GPS tracking for a reduced rates. Do not use these.

Whatever CNN says, we listen and obey them!!!!

Dear. ....Scope of fighting is there......if we can send our Army anywhere in the World without requirement & scope.......then for every BAD habits....You can get scope of fighting.

Yall are crazy..there is someone on the other side listen to every personal/casual conversation going on in your house.

Don't COPY the BAD habits of anyone. ....may be he/she is at TOP of his field. Please SET example for our Kids & Youth. ...to become an IDEAL AMERICAN.

3-Create Social pressure...............Society can create this..........Just like..... they show difference to a Prostitute Family VS Highly Moral & Ethical Family.

Gov't can help in first two points 1- Add one chapter in our KIDs Textbook to show these are BAD habits & Explain its Consequences with Logical points 2- STOP glorifying it as freedom Leaders & Celebrities have to QUIT these BAD habits to show their MERCY for our Kids & Youth.

BAN is not possible................................ ..BAN is not a Solution. Three points Solution ----- 1-Teach 2-Don't glorify as freedom 3-Create Social pressure

Say no to Echo. Say no to CNN

Any Crime or Health issue will be SUB-SET of the SET {Smoking, Alcoholism, Drug, PORN, Premarital Sex, Extramarital Affairs} Simple SET THEORY ...........Forgot your Mathematics ?

IF................. you believe in GOD ......... THEN........now You have to QUIT Smoking, Alcohol, Drug, PORN, Premarital Sex and Extramarital Affairs. ELSE............... IF---THEN---ELSE Logic

If we love these BAD habits then we shouldn't COMPLAIN ......ENJOY.

I'm not Moral Police. No-one is Saint to become a Moral Police. Why I'm frustrated. ..We DON'T WANT TO LOSE OUR FREEDOM then we're CRYING for several heinous Crimes & Severe Mental & Physical Diseases.....Blaming Police for Crimes.

First you have to QUIT these bad habits then only you can ask them to become an Ideal AMERICAN. Most of the Crimes & Health Issues are related to these bad habits. Please think about it seriously.

ASK PARENTS to teach KIDs & ADULTS that Smoking, Alcohol, Drug, PORN, Premarital Sex and Extramarital Affairs are very BAD habits and Explain its Consequences with Logical points
