[This is too stupid for words.](https://www.amazon.com/Echo-Loop/dp/B07JPK4XJ6) Amazon seems to be test-marketing a device you wear like a ring. You can talk into it and through your smart phone to Alexa, the Amazon personal digital assistant.  
You have to be impressed by the technology I suppose. The video is worth a look.

Looks like it might be a good thing for someone who’s visually impaired.

Not for me, though. I don’t want to interact with technology by talking to my finger.
