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.

    Everything is regressed to a tiny square of a screen, that you barely look at.

    This is precisely why I love my smartwatch. With the watch, I get a notification, I look at my wrist and read it, 95% of the time it’s nothing important and I dismiss it, and then I go about my day.

    Without the watch, I’ll get a notification on my phone, 95% of the time it’s nothing important and I’ll dismiss it, but now I have the entire fucking internet just sitting in my hand so why shouldn’t I look up how tall Greg Davies is?

    I find that a smartwatch helps me to mitigate distractions, rather than introducing new ones. It’s honestly been one piece of tech that I could actually still recommend to people these days.
