Alexa Just Conquered CES. The World Is Next

You can't walk the sprawling floor of the Las Vegas Convention Center without tripping over a speaker, an appliance, or even a robot or two that supports Alexa. Amazon's voice assistant is clearly the darling of CES 2017. This may well be the year you switch from tapping and typing on touchscreens to simply shouting commands. Many platforms, from Apple's Siri and Micosoft's Cortana to Google's Assistant and Samsung's Viv, want to be your conversational partner, but Alexa easily leads the race. The winner will claim a sweet prize.
