FindLaw columnist Eric Sinrod writes regularly in this section on legal developments surrounding technology and the internet.
Once upon a time less than 20 years ago, there was concern that people would not trust providing their credit card information to make online purchases. Indeed, there was a question as to whether people would take the plunge and order holiday presents online. My, how times have changed!
The press release points to a number of Alexa facts. For example, Alexa set more than one hundred million timers this holiday season. Also, customers asked Alexa to turn on holiday lights tens of millions of times.
Electronics were hot, with best selling items including Bose QuietComfort 35 (Series II) Wireless headphones.
No longer is there doubt about whether people will shop on the internet for holiday presents. Indeed, Santa might be breathing a sigh of relief as his sleigh and reindeer do not have to do all the work.
