It is very important to distinguish between opinion pieces and fact based news! Sometimes information is presented as facts when they may be just an opinion. The main difference between fact and opinion is that fact can be proven as true whereas opinion cannot be proven as true. An opinion refers to a personal belief.

The demo video shows voice activated control - it's all getting very Star Trek out there!
