Speaking of poor smart home devices, this year's CES show in Las Vegas won a grand prize.
There are bluetooth toaster with "personalized Brown", bonks devices for brewing perfect cups, and dog collars with "emotional perception technology.
What a beautiful moment to live!
A highlight is the built-in smart hair brush
In the microphone, a tech writer beautifully wrote in the title: "weinings invented a 'smart' hair brush, we just want to dye ".
As Ernst & Young confirmed earlier this week, while consumers are completely disinterested, electronics companies are determined to invade our families with unwanted Internet connections.
So it's only a matter of time before the tillelectronics giant LG abandons the blockbuster: from this year on, all of the company's shome devices will be equipped with "advanced wifi connections ".
According to a report from Ars Technica, LG's marketingVPDavid VanderWaal announced the news.
While electronics companies are known for posting quirky announcements at CES, LG is very serious.
At the same press conference, the company proudly presented its new "Instaview refrigerator "--
Touch screen, voice control and home management ".
LGproudly is proud to announce that this bold new connectivity device "brings new meaning to the kitchen and becomes the heart of the family ".
We don't know what that really means, but it sounds chilling.
Maybe it's better not to leave your child alone.
There's a glimmer of hope-
LG teamed up with Amazon to integrate the new refrigerator with Alexa personal assistant and we found this to be one of the most promising "smart" devices we 've ever seen.
But this raises the question.
Why are electronics companies so determined to push these devices to consumers?
Is it about collecting our data?
Or is it a sad strategy for us to unnecessarily upgrade our gadgets?
Sadly, whatever the real motivation is, the "Connect" device will stay here.
We just want manufacturers to still provide "stupid" models for consumers who know more about the situation.
