    Let’s assume the kid knows it’s a recording. It’s still a valid question.

    Like where is the recording coming from when the kid asks Alexa to play a song?

    I never thought about it, as I don’t have kids, but must be a bit harder explaining a global IT-infrastructure than it was for my grandpa to explaining how a VHS works. On a generalised level, that is.

      The kid made a mistake asking where music came from. Now me must learn about TCP/IP, NTP and DNS 💀💀💀💀

      The kid is gonna need naptime and to clear the next 3 years of his schedule. This is gonna get complicated…

        “how is it now playing here in the car if it’s on the computer at home…?”

        edit also “a computer at home” feels fairly outdated, when even very young kids have smartphones
