a discussion we once had
"I don't like the IOT"
I can do things
for myself
wouldn't you rather
not have to?
you could start a small farm, or let
someone else grow your food
I don't need my microwave
to sense what's in it.
do it better than you?
not meet my
preferences
it can learn
you can make
adjustments
trial and error
I already do it that
way. I'm fine
That's what they said before agriculture
crappy buttons?
doesn't need to be
internet enabled to work
automation doesn't
require internet
but some automation
conveniences do
isn't convenience a
good enough reason?
who wants to deal
with reading maps?
man over machine
cooking over
a camp fire?
a microwave is a
machine either way
machine can
do it better
i don't want a machine
making decisions for me
google maps?
i can't make
good decisions
adjust the route
adjusting the route is still
mostly accepting the decision
cumbersome
reading maps
trial and error
not learning to read maps
that is choosing to
let computers decide
air conditioning?
I'd rather set it myself
suffer first
inconvenient labor
put on cloths
Inconvenient
wastes energy cooking the house then
adjust the decision
product suggestions
vs guessing around
I don't want my life
ruled by computers
overturn any decision?
not something you
want to do yourself
inconsequential
decisions
the decisions you care about
are still yours to make
phones are for calling, texting,
music, weather, and internet.
a lack of imagination doesn't
make novelties worthless
phones didn't used to be for
more than calling either
they used to have
crappy buttons too
you aren't using
a flip phone
what if you told the
fridge to order milk?
it's a waste to
ship just milk
order your entire
shopping list
I'd never find
anything new
cooking magazines and
internet recipes
more interesting than anything
we'd come up in the store
choose meals based on interest,
rather than available ingredients
find the
lowest price
cost of
your labor
opportunity cost
annoyance relief
fridge is supposed to cool
food and dispense water/ice
that's only because it's all
we've made it do
they weren't supposed to
dispense water/ice at first either
but i hate not
having a dispenser
that's the point
I hate going to Safeway
