Default Google Home or Amazon Echo?

Which home assistant do you / would you use?



I think Amazon Echo would be better for shopping, whereas Google home would be good for searching. Either could provide a Star Trek like experience in the home.

Nope. Neither. I don't even have webcams on my computers, hell if I'm putting an eavesdropper in my place on purpose!

I've heard and read those things are super easy to hack. I'm good on that but cool if you guys like them.
