By using Multipeer WiFi between smartphones, the app eliminates the need to use the Plane's WiFi network.

"...one thing that we are all clear about is the days of three top text ads followed by ten organic results is a thing of the past in the voice first world"-- Sridhar Ramaswamy, Senior Vice president of advertising and commerce, November 29, 2016 During an investor call [3] on November 29, 2016 Sridhar Ramaswamy, Senior Vice president of advertising and commerce at Google spoke to the coming shift of their business model as voice first device interactions begin to dominate our lives. Web based search will never fully disappear, but a generation of kids are growing up around the Voice First revolution and fully expect a computer to be something they talk to and talks back. Just like this generation now no longer has CDs, DVDs, Tapes or Records, the next generation will expect Voice interaction, not with pages of search results but AI assisted, ontology and taxonomy perfect answers, most particularly one answer. You and I will not tolerate radio-like advertisements, nor would we tolerate a telephone-like IVR list of advertisers. Thus, the writing is on the wall.

Like it or not, we are all getting older. Part of getting older involves turning up the television for those whispering bits you can't hear. Fair enough, maybe it's just me and hearing damage caused by years of death metal. Maybe you can just yell at your Google Home or Amazon Alexa devices to turn up the volume when the explosions stop and the exposition begins. Or maybe you can just add the Zvox Accuvoice TV speaker to your home theater arsenal.

There is a point where we will blankly stare at our Amazon Alexa devices and wish that it wasn't so easy to order groceries and other retail goods. There has got to be some sort of alternative right? That alternative is Amazon Go, a new retail experience that proves that even Amazon knows that brick and mortar isn't dead yet. If you prefer not to stand in the middle of Walmart, softly crying to yourself at the muddled masses of humanity, but still like to physically go shopping then Amazon Go is the future you are waiting for. Amazon Go is a literal brick and mortar store, announced today.

If you got an Amazon Echo or Google Home voice assistant, welcome to a life of luxurious convenience. You'll be asking for the weather, the news, and your favorite songs without having to poke around on your phone. You'll be turning off lights and requesting videos from bed. That little talking cylinder is always listening to you. And not just listening, but recording and saving many of the things you say.
