Alexa also serves to do homework and this is demonstrated by a six-year-old boy in a video that has gone viral

Jariel is six years old and lives in the state of New Jersey (United States). Like many children his age, he was born with technologies as part of his routine and Amazon's personal assistant, Alexa, is one of them.

So He decided to ask for help while doing his math homework and the voice service answered him correctly. His mother caught the moment and decided to share it on his Twitter account, and the video has gone viral, with more than eight million views.

An anecdote to reflect

Yerelyn Cueva was recording her son while doing homework when she heard him ask Alexa, how much is five minus three, to which Amazon's personal assistant responded correctly with a two.

Eleven seconds of video that have given much of themselves, with comments of all kinds:

  • Some users of the social network wonder if it is not irresponsible to leave a technological device so close to a small child without supervision.
In Babies and more Do not use technology as an emotional pacifier: recommendations of the AAP on the correct use of ICT by children
  • Others applaud the initiative of the little one, who has understood how effective this assistant is.

  • And there is no lack of criticism of the mother's comment that accompanies the video: "Should I beat him up now or later?"

We want to make it very clear that we do not support the mother's words at all, and that of course it seems totally inappropriate and we oppose any kind of punishment.

But far from the controversy and what everyone can think about the attitude of little Jariel and his mother Yerelyn, we cannot deny that the decision of the little one surprises and that we are not the only ones to think about it: it already has 8.36 million Views and 2,300 comments!
