Google Home

Dads are a lot like superheroes: they protect, provide, and show us right from wrong. But even with a superhuman effort, no one dad can do everything. After all, even Superman needed some help now and then. If your dad would benefit from a little everyday assistance, consider the Google Home. Using integrated Wi-Fi and voice recognition technology, this compact AI assistant can play music on command, check weather and sports scores, answer pressing questions, and so much more.
