Welcome to Echo Talk. These forums are dedicated to the discussion of the Amazon Echo device.
I decided to set up this Un-Official Amazon Echo discussion forum because the Official Amazon forums are kind of a mess. It's hard to keep track of topics and threads. The official forums are for everything related to Amazon, and too broad in scope. This forum is dedicated only to the Amazon Echo.
You already know that to register for an account here you need to enter a CAPTCHA and answer a silly question. This requirement is so that we can weed out annoying spammers. It's amazing how many spammers already attempted to create accounts on here. The CAPTCHA and questions may come up again, especially for new members when they post their first message to the forum. After that, you won't have to do it again. I realize it's a pain to go through this, but it is the only reasonable way to get rid of spammers.
One of our members here has written in his own blog, "Basically, I’m a fan of anything that makes it seem more like we’re living in Star Trek." I've never really thought about it before, but I realized that any technology that resembles Star Trek is what I've been doing most of my life. That's why I get so excited when it comes to new technologies such as Smart Watches, LED lighting, Internet controlled cameras, etc. Years ago, I even did a research paper in college on natural language processing and neuro-networks. It's been 20+ years since college, and we're finally able to realize what many people envisioned years ago. This is a very exciting time.
This forum is for everyone, beginners and hardcore enthusiasts alike, and even handicapped people, to make the most of this technology. It is amazing how far we've come, but the road ahead is still daunting.
I'm very happy to be a part of this era where we can play, learn, and utilize this technology and share it with everyone.
