By now I’m guessing that everyone has heard or used a Google home or echo Dot or a system like that.
My family recently upgraded to have an echo Dot system in their house so they gave me the Google home for my dorm room because I have a Google phone and it works well together.
When I tell you that this is the best thing I have ever done I am not exaggerating.
Me and my sweet mates use it mostly for music but we also used it to keep updated with the election, to answer random late night questions and now I use it as my alarm clock.
I am known for forgetting things like where I put my phone, when to get my laundry and taking my medicine at night.
It’s really easy to say Google find my phone, and Google will call my phone so I can find it. I also can set timers and alarms that will help me throughout my day.
Yes, I do realize that this makes me lazier but at least I’m getting things done now. If only it could help me find my student ID cuz I need to lose that at least twice a week.
I know they’re expensive and not everyone can afford them My family got ours for free through a contest from our local grocery store but I definitely really think that it’s a helpful tool.
My mom utilized it in the daycare to play songs, sing while daycare kids washed their hands and brushed their teeth and for white noise as they slept.
The other day I was at work but I was able to send a message from my phone to the Google home for my suitemate who wasn’t answering her phone. In almost like a walkie talkie.
I would definitely give this system a 5 out of 5. It makes life easier, it’s fun to have.
I’ve just began to scratch the surface on what it can really do. I personally think it is great for students who lack the motivation or energy to do get out of bed and set alarms of any other tasks like that.
