It's already perfectly simple to say "Alexa, turn on the TV to {SHOW}", or "Alexa, turn on the bedside lamp", even if you're allergic to flipping switches.
I feel like pretty much everything in Samsung's CES is destined to be incredibly niche and forward-looking, Ballie included. It's unlikely that the world is going to be taken by storm by what looks like a pair of bionic Depends or a motorized ball that constantly stalks you and beeps incomprehensibly like R2D2. But all that tech and all the lessons learned from engineering it will likely find its way over time into far more refined, less "WTAF is that" type of products.
