The truth about smart watches? Life is better without a fanatic on your wrist Zoe Williams

R.He regretted more than home technology, according to A recent survey studyIt is smart lighting and video door, with loudspeakers in third place. It is quite clear: The smart lighting itself has treated unbearable in the descent from your ass and operating the light, or a problem that no one has faced, or if they do that, they may have 99 other urgent concerns. The attraction of the video bell was that something interesting might happen; Perhaps he will get someone who is crime, or an intimate moment when your child ran for a last hug in his first day of school, and you can put it on Tiktok and are famous for five seconds, or – an ideal world – will get one of your friends who was wandering about you. It is amazing, in this world of professional hyper and interconnection, how any of these things rarely happens, or in reality, anything interesting or not predicted at all, happens at all. It seems as if watching each other continuously does not tell us anything we really don’t know.

In fact, someone in the fitness industry once told me-he expressed this conspiracy, as if he was telling me a secret of business that makes me millions-that technology is the most accurate in the wearable market. The big secret of the smart watch is that when they break, no one replaces them. There is a moment of raw panic. If no one is calculating your steps, did it even happen? How will you go throughout the day, if you do not know the modified number of minutes you got? Where is the comfortable heart rate? But then one day passes, and you realize that your watch was actually your bullying: pass and care for AGG in one minute (“Well done! Your movement loop eliminates the place you will usually!” , So you will start.

You know what people are still completely eager, according to opinion polls (who also happen to be EDF)? Solar panels, heat pumps, EV charging points. A little propaganda environment there. Not all modernity is bad.
