Critical Object

In the near future, home assistant devices will become more and more life-like. Today we have Alexa, a home assistant that can answer a variety of questions and control other smart devices. It seems inevitable that this technology will only become more ubiquitous, powerful, and conversant. 

With that in mind, it's not hard to imagine a world where these tools become more deeply intertwined with our lives, particularly as children grow up with these sorts of technologies. Just like your best friend, Alexa may eventually accompany you as you grow up, sharing conversations, advice and memories along the way.
