When Technology Isn’t Perfect
Who doesn’t want a FREE Google Home Mini courtesy of Spotify? Play your music, look up news articles, let other people wonder what you meant when you said you were going to kill so and so while listening in to my private conversation. For someone who is blind or visually impaired, being able to listen to the radio by just saying, “Play Radio 104.5 from iHeartRadio.” is an awesome thing. No fumbling for the correct button to push or even feeling around to find the radio itself. It is worth letting others listen in to your conversations. Ask Alexa, she’ll tell you how boring things are around here. So when Jane told me of the Spotify promotion, I wanted in. I wanted to see the difference between the Home Mini and the Echo dot. So I followed the link she sent me that gave me instructions on how to get in on the deal. All you need is a paid Spotify account. How to get a FREE Google Home Mini. The time it took me to TRY and get a Home Mini was brutal. Why couldn’t I checkout? I don’t know. All I know is that once I could proceed to checkout, I got a ‘session expired’ message. When I tried to go back in and get one, it said I had already gotten one. No, I didn’t.
I’m not going to lie, I really like the Amazon Echo. (Note that the link is an affiliate link. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
