Five-year-olds don’t know what life was like before Siri and Alexa, or even smartphones. Touchscreens and voice assistants are simply their “norm.” But many of us are continually trying to adapt to the growing number of technological advancements increasingly influencing our day-to-day interactions. For this episode, I sat down with my five-year-old son to discuss a number of topics related to commerce today. While you might not think a child’s perspective matters, it does. In fact, the parallels between his expectations and those of consumers today are strikingly similar. In this episode, you’ll discuss:
• A five-year-old’s thoughts on voice assistants and browserless commerce
• The differences in ecommerce on smartphones vs. laptops
• Whether shipping speed really matters to a five-year-old
• His likes and dislikes with the in-store experience
• Ice cream and fish: Matthew takes on the 15-second podcast gauntlet
