I just want my washing machine to be a washing machine.

Amen. Most things that have become smart have done so for the sake of it and there are better alternatives like just making a list.

I’m tired of being the product.

Doesn't everyone feel this way?

Silicon valley’s “disruptors” are usually full of shit. The vast majority of the time: it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Some are good, but theres more that aren't. Life doesn't need disrupting half as much as people think it does.

Bring back the damn knobs, buttons, and switches in my car. I don’t need more touchscreens.

Whoever thought a touch screen in a car was a good idea should be locked up or put down. I can only believe it was someone who doesn't drive that came up with that idea.
