Amazon surprised us with its new fall tools and service event Luna Cloud-Gaming Service, With expected updates to the range of Echo, Fire TV and Ring products. The event helps Amazon create a bus as we head into the holiday shopping season, for the first time, Prime Day. (Annual sales usually take place in July, but will begin on October 13 this year.) Privacy Concerns were the big storylines of 2019 for Ring and Alexa. In today’s life-existence, millions of people have been hiding for a long time, so the connected housing ideas that Amazon has been developing for years are more relevant than ever.

The company’s Echo and Fire TV products will be the first to receive sustainability badges, and it works to reduce consumption across devices with the new low-power mode and Energy Dashboard integrated with Alexa. Amazon also pledged to build solar and wind farms to generate energy to match the consumption of all equipment.
