    Yay... If Amazon's plan is to make sure a kid never needs to leave the house, it's working pretty great.

    This way not only can this spyware have direct access to more of your private life, it can also indoctrinate your kids into the ideology of Silicon Valley Liberals

    These companies want children to be in home every time interacting with computers not playing outdoor games or speaking with friends and etc.

    Making children dump!

    Or, how about the parents spend time with their children and teach them how to be polite instead of them talking to a piece of plastic? Good idea, right?
