So, my new printer came at 5:30 pm via Amazon delivery. It is now 9 pm and still not working. Two beers didn't help either. So very frustrated. It should be hooked up and printing, but it isn't. Better luck tomorrow.

I think we expect all things to be intuitive. I'm not sure when I actually read any of the instructions that come w/ things like printers, tablets, phones. I just went through hooking up my printer through my new house wifi and it took several trial and error "maybe I should try this" options and finally got it to work....but I felt your frustration that you describe.
I'm not frustrated at all. I enjoy being able to change the type of music, the volume, room lighting, etc, with my voice. I love being able to ask random questions as they occur to me and get an answer (Alexa, who played the father in "A Christmas Story"?). We have several WEMO devices and smart cameras and when we're away we can turn lights on and off, on schedule or at the touch of a button, and we can check things out via the cameras, even check on the cat while we're gone. My tablet sends out an alarm for weather emergencies which I can hear from anywhere in the vicinity of the device. My GearFit watch tells me who's calling on my cell when it's upstairs and I'm downstairs, and it tells me to get off the couch when I've been on City-Data for too long...LOL. My brother closed on a re-fi on his home in CA from our place in TN via E-docs. I love having access to an infinite number of books, movies, TV shows, etc while traveling, or just when there's nothing on broadcast TV (which is pretty much always). I like being able to order stuff, schedule deliveries, and check my front porch to see if it's arrived all remotely. So much more I can't even begin to list it all.... Love it.
Am I the only person who finds it creepy having a computer talk to me? I use my GPS out of necessity, but that's all. That's the only time I choose to have a computer talk to me.

I agree completely. There are too many for too many things. I especially hate that Verizon makes me verify my identity EVERY TIME I log into my account, not only with my user name and password, but with several of those stupid identity questions. What hacker would be interested in my phone bill or gigabyte usage, anyway?
Computers, tablets, phones,printers, etc are the only things in the whole world that come without any instructions or manual. I always thought that was weird and terribly inconvenient Why?
