This technology also takes away independence from #olderpeople, those with a #learningdisability etc. less technical versions should be widely available for those that find smart appliances too complex or simply they want something that’s easily repairable (not to mention ‘green).
I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me.
In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.
