Observed recently while visiting a couple in their eighties:
-- Alexa, play "White Christmas".
-- Okay, I see that's available for purchase with an amazon music
account. Would you like me to create an account for you?

old-fashioned and progressive.
Anyway, if lmi had a natural-language voice interface, there'd
be no more need for its current end users: customers could talk
directly to the machine.

that enables and disables them.
