Northeastern Gives Out Echo Dots; Instagram Launches IGTV

Northeastern University has been piloting a program where incoming students can use an Echo Dot to help organize their lives on campus. Students are given the device which is stocked with information like class schedules and tuition information. The goal is to reduce the need to make calls for such information and to simply life for students. Instagram has launched what they are calling IGTV. Users can upload videos and watch videos up to an hour long. Intitially, no ads will be shown but executives say that will likely change in the future. And Amazon has come out with the Echo Look. The camera acts like a personal fashion consultant by analyzing your clothing and makes recommendations. The device is free for Amazon Prime members.
