   Part one My name is John. Don't worry about my last name because it doesn't matter in this story. Once upon a time, there was a lady in my Faculty named Faith. She was always aggressive anytime i tried talking to her. I didn't know what i did or perhaps  what the problem was with her. I felt unhappy anytime i set my eyes on her. So one day as i was returning from the library around 8:30pm in the evening, i saw her walking towards me. I felt anger spike out of my heart, so i frowned my face.

Amazon revamps Echo smart speaker family

Image
  Amazon has announced new versions of its Echo smart speakers that promise improved sound and voice recognition. The basic model also allows its shell to be changed to give it different looks - a feature already offered by Google's rival Home device. A larger Echo Plus adds a "home hub", letting it control smart light bulbs and other third-party products without a separate data-linking device. And the Echo Spot has a screen, making video calls and camera feeds possible. Amazon has never released sales figures for the earlier Echo line-up. But researchers suggest it and its smaller sibling the Echo Dot have been the best selling devices of their kind. The Echo family accounts for 75% of the US market for internet-connected speakers with built-in smart assistant functionality, estimated Consumer Intelligence Research Partners earlier this month. It suggested 15 million devices had been sold to date. Colour choices The new Echo is smaller than its predece...
