Asking Alexa    to sing to him is     just one of the things he does with his Echo Dot.  <\/p>\n<p>    But the song has been around for about a month, according to an    Amazon spokesperson, who told GeekWire that it was released    July 13 incelebration of Barbershop Music Appreciation    Day. Whether or not you needed a day to appreciate that kind of    music, the timing makes sense now that Ive heard the    voice-enabled assistant harmonizing over and over and over this    week.  <\/p>\n<p>      Technology, technology,      where would I be without      tech-no-lo-gyyyyyyyyyy?    <\/p>\n<p>      Without the Wi-Fi I couldnt say hi,      as for music, I couldnt choose it.      Shopping lists would cease to exist,      and time would be on your wrist.    <\/p>\n<p>      I thank my lucky stars that Im here today,      I hope that youll agree.      Give me one, two, three shouts of love,      for tech-tech, tech-tech, technologyyyyyyyyy.    <\/p>\n<p>      Wooooo-hoooooooo, technologyyyyyyyyyy.    <\/p>\n<p>    Theres a clear nod in there to Amazons belief that life is    better with Amazon. How did we ever listen to music, shop or    even tell time before the tech giants artificial intelligence    came along?  <\/p>\n<p>    The music and lyrics were created by the Alexa personality    team, the spokesperson said.Alexa can now sing five songs    on command and her skills are allegedly improving over time.    You can ask for a specific song by saying something like,    Alexa, sing a love song or Alexa, sing a country song or    just ask her to sing a song in general and she will pick one    from her repertoire to play for you.  <\/p>\n<p>    On an Echo Show here at the GeekWire offices, we simply said,    Alexa, sing the technology song.  <\/p>\n<p>    And now, as if we didnt have that problem already, we cant    get technology out of our heads.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Here is the original post:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.geekwire.com\/2017\/cant-get-technology-off-mind-amazons-alexa-no-help-sings-place-world\/\" title=\"Can't get technology off your mind?
