Versatile device to ask questions, as alarm clock, to call someone, for notifications, to play music

Versatile device to ask questions, as alarm clock, to call someone, for notifications, to play music
This is my first time owning an Amazon Echo device (although other members of my family and friends have them, and I've used it in that manner).Setting up the device took a bit of time, but was not difficult. I downloaded the Amazon Alexa app, and followed the instructions. Then, I plugged the USB cable into the port on the Echo device, and into the power outlet.I've now used my own Echo for the past several weeks. It is responsive, able to pick up my questions from anywhere in the room where the Echo is located, as long as I talk loud enough if I am far away.I love that I can listen to free music. For example, I say, "...Alexa, play 80s music..." and it plays until I tell it to turn off. And, if I want a particular song or a particular musician, then I can subscribe to the music service. I can tell Alexa to turn up/down the volume, or I can press the (+) or (-) button on the device itself to turn up/down the volume.I like that I can use Echo as an alarm clock.It's great to have Echo remind me to do something, such as "...Alexa, remind me to watch a TV program at 9 pm..."It's convenient to get the local weather.I love that I can call another person while using Echo.When my Amazon packages arrive (either to the house, or to my PO Box), I am notified by the light on the Echo flashing (this tells me there is a notification). Once I tell Alexa to give me notifications, she says that a package has arrive.Most of my questions can be answered. When Alexa doesn't know an answer, it says something like, "...hmmm, I am not sure...."I am still learning more about what other things that Amazon/Alexa can do.All in all, I am quite glad I got it!
