What parents should know about smart speakers

If a genie were to grant your every household-management wish, you'd waste no time making demands: "Add milk to my grocery list"; "Lock the doors"; "Help my kid with algebra"! The same kind of magic can be had in smart devices -- for a price (in this case, your data). But internet-enabled products aren't going "poof" anytime soon. In fact, more than six in 10 parents say their young kids interact with voice-activated assistants. So if you're weighing the pros and cons of products such as smart watches, smart speakers, and even smartphones that track pretty much everything you do, a peek behind the curtain will help you determine whether the benefits to your family are worth it.
