Autonomous drones with GoPros
We've already heard about drones or camera-equipped drones but autonomous drones with GoPros is something new.

It will register your slightest movements and reposition itself constantly with the instructions you set via its Android and iOS mobile app, following you around automatically (http://hexoplus.com).
Amazon Echo 
The Amazon Echo is a voice-enabled, connected to the cloud, getting smarter assistant. 
Controlled by your voice, it will listen for the trigger word “Alexa” with its far-field voice recognition, which uses seven microphones to hear you from any direction. You’ll then be able to ask  “Alexa” questions about topics like information, news, music, weather, anything you'd usually search on Google. :)
You can also set timers, reminders and issue music requests (http://www.amazon.com/oc/echo).
