If the manufacturers would just state why their smart appliances are a good thing (never mind trying to get us to believe we actually need them), maybe we could stop speculating.
So far, none of the smart features seem necessary. LG fridge with a panel that allows seeing inside? Great- why not just look when grabbing food items? They say it can tag items and let the user know when they're old- how hard is it to check a fridge for something that's old?
I'm watching an LG video and all of it seems to be designed for people who are incredibly lazy. The presenter said nothing about any use for monitoring people.
Brad brought up a great point, if not for lazy people, we would all be out of work. I mean, Im kind of surprised that at least one of us havent had a client ask for one of those floating chairs in the movie Walle with beverage dispensers and touch screens mounted on it.
But, you got to the real point of the original question. Is there anything to this for us, yet? Im not saying there will never be a valid reason to integrate white goods. Just is it time yet to try? Or is would it right now just create more problems than it would be worth.
Civil War reenactment is LARPing for people with no imagination.
