Watches
I never saw the point of them. I don’t see the problem with analog or digital watches. Everything is regressed to a tiny square of a screen, that you barely look at. I just find it as an unnecessary distraction.
Light Bulbs
I work in retail and I stock these things all of the time. We have light bulbs, that are smart now because why? They’re stuffed with wireless functionality, just so you can simply change a color or maybe dim it through phone. More unnecessary apps, more unnecessary functions just for cheap attraction.
Kitchen Appliances
I’m bundling them all here.
There is nothing you’re gaining an advantage of, when slapping a screen on any appliance and relying on some unsupported app on your phone for basic functions.
Uhh, damn near all of them. But, that’s an opinion coming from an able bodied person. A lot can be useful for those with mobility issues.
I was just sitting here thinking that yes, most smart appliances are just a tax on vain people, that have to have something extra to show off how special they are. But then I read your comment and got a dose of reality check.
oh yea like the samsung FRIDGES, washing machine,ovens, and people too ignorant/dumb to figure out you wont have this problems if you got a normal one. and the SMART MATTRESSES that malfunctioned.
Non able bodied person here. I’ll keep the dumb versions thanks.
Not to nitpick, but can you give an example?
I can’t think of any which don’t already have a better non-“smart” alternative.
I’m not claiming they are the best solution. Just that they can be useful. Smart thermostat, you don’t have to get up to change the temp, or deal with any small buttons/controls. Smart light bulbs. Again, don’t have to get to turn the lights on or off. They’re are a variety of ways to do this without smart bulbs though.
The list is gonna be similar reasons for most of them. If it’s difficult to get around, anything you can do without having to move can be helpful.
