one of my targets in the book is the amazon alexa, the echo, which is obviously a very popular consumer product and is in a lot of homes. i was thinking in the green room before i came on here that a kid only needs to be around one of these things once. the first time they encounter an ipad or an iphone or amazon alexa, and you see how incredibly they change. almost instantly, and the addictive potential of these devices is really extraordinary. we frequently referred to millennials as digital natives, i think you've heard that term, the idea that they are uniquely equipped for the modern world or for the future by virtue of their upbringing, and the digitization of it, how they just grew up these devices and they know them intimately and they shape and guide their thinking, where is a guy like me to have a little trouble with snapchat are not understand the latest edition of some app or why they are all obsessing over that i've seenis my kids around and amazon alexa can have seen how they flip out. i don't mean to throw them under the bus, i think it is very common phenomenon. treating

my concern is i have seen my kids around and amazon alexa and i see how they flip out. i do not mean to throw them under a bus. i think it is a common phenomenon. treating these devices like they are a servant. , auote a woman in the book magazine article, who said people talk to their amazon alexa, you would not talk to a dog that way. if you were to bring a device like that into your home, you are asking for trouble. nativityon of digital term.extremely misleading it does not mean what you think it means. it is quite negative. if you said to someone i am going to bring an addictive drug in your house and give it to and we will call them digital junkies, you might have a different attitude. you might think twice before bringing these devices in your house. host: more can be found in the book. zero hour for generation x. -- the senate banking committee looks into the effectiveness of u.s. sanctions against russia. with testimony from the acting deputy treasury secretary and other banking officials. also live at 10:00 eastern. all of the hearings online at sea spun.org o

have you got one of these alexa devices?, easy to build, these machines need lots of data to learn. if you have built your own, you are not worried about the privacy concerns, because you know what you are doing with it? it is still using the google kit. that is how they learn, if you want them to learn, you have to give them a bit of access, that is how they will improve. with all big tech fence, we give them data, they use it and sell it in different ways. think about banks training their assistance to understand different dialects, it will help with the way that financial services will automate the traditional help desk and customer service. another story that has caught our eye, 6 million shoppers expected to hit india's first ikea store. they are launching in india's fourth largest city, expanding to 25 stores, because the indian middle class is expected to overtake the us to become the second—largest in the world, so a big long—term play market. really nice to see you, thank you for explaining all that. that is from us

today, and you can get alexa and google and airplay.commodate the union of all of the benefits. even for those companies, at the end of the day, it's useful to have a company like sonos that sells music systems throughout the home. essentially, it enhances the exposure that a software offering like alexa has. fundamentally, even though there is obviously some degree of competition at the margin, overall, i think all three companies, as well as sonos, benefit from the overall partnerships. emily: you've had six recent liquidity events. today, sonos. also today, cisco announced it security for $3.5 million. not bad. mike: it's been a very good year. it wasn't always this way. we had very humble beginnings at index just a few years ago when we opened up our san francisco office, and we've come a long way from that. fundamentally, embedding in companies that are a little bit contrarian, like sonos, for example. we've begun to find our stride. not every year will look like this year. but we are humbled by the work these entrepreneurs do and
