Watch - 6-yr-old caught using Alexa to cheat Maths homework

Technology is almost taking over our lives. In the pretext of making our lives simple, technology has made us lazy.

A recent video of a 6-year-old boy referring to Alexa - a virtual assistant developed by Amazon, to answer his Maths questions. The video tweeted by his mother, Yerelyn Cueva featured the little boy asking Alexa, "What's five minus three?"

Alexa could be heard immediately answering two. The boy even thanks the device for helping him. The very ability of such smart assistants to be able to help with very little effort is rather alarming. Watch the video here:
