Умные колонки, пожалуй, самые недооценённые из устройств нашего времени. В том смысле, что, не имея личного опыта использования, многие люди считают их чем-то совершенно бесполезным и не видят способа применения в своей жизни. Но, получив этот опыт, зачастую остаются очень довольны, а иногда и не понимают, как жили без них. У меня далеко не один знакомый, прошедший по этому пути: кому-то колонку подарили, у кого-то купил другой член семьи, а кого-то даже уговорил на покупку ваш покорный слуга. Во всех без исключения случаях колонка (в отличие, например, от 3D принтера и тем более от VR очков) не пылится где-то на антресолях, а вполне себе используется с завидной регулярностью.
Казалось бы, вот вам и ответ на вопрос в заголовке: нужна. Но не всё так просто. Я тоже не случайным образом выбирал, кого именно пытаться уговорить. Давайте разберёмся, когда и зачем есть толк в умной колонке, а попутно посмотрим на новую Яндекс Станцию Макс, которая приехала ко мне.
