Oh, you meant just doing whatever it is parents have done since forever, and deliver culture to their children? Sure, I guess, if you're a good parent, and your culture isn't shit, then yes, that's certainly preferable.
If you're not a good parent or your culture isn't something your child should grow up in, I'd still prefer Amazon. Better to have mindless consumer drones (though I don't believe Amazon is good enough to make any actual programming) than another generation of ISIS.

Let's make it simpler: if people are starving, and Amazon offers to ship them Amazon Crackers™, Amazon Water™, and Amazon VitaMix™ and what not, would you say "no, we shouldn't. If we can't provide home-cooked meals to them, then we should just consider it a global concern, but not use Amazon's mass-produced, middle-of-the-road not-really-tastes-like-anything nutrient slime"?
Because that's the alternative I see. You can get Alexa to read something to a child, or you can let that same child watch The Dancing Primary Colors And Squeaky Sounds show on the TV. Alexa is far superior to what plenty of children are currently getting with regards to parenting.
