People use Youtube because it is easy to search, it’s an extensive list of songs, and they can see the video.

Is there any other functionality that I should be aware of for this question?  Interviewer:  No, this is good.

Alexa is a virtual voice assistant that helps people seamlessly organise their lives by getting the information from the web, adding items to the Amazon shopping cart, or helping with home automation. Is the broad understanding of Alexa correct? Interviewer:  Yes, that’s okay. Shailesh:  Okay, now I have so m e questions that I want to clarify; my first question is, what is the objective of improvement?
