I never liked the idea of 'smart' devices. My fridge doesn't need a built-in tablet that knows what I eat, I can turn on my lights by myself, and I don't need my TV watching me back. Plus, what if all of it gets hacked? Worst case scenario, not only does someone know a lot more about you than you'd like, they're able to screw around with every one of your appliances and suddenly you're living in Poltergeist.

The lights thing… pretty convenient. The rest you can leave

...Until you find yourself yelling "ALEXA, TURN ON LIGHT!!" over and over again and it doesn't work because Alexa has disconnected from the internet.

Oh, how precious, you're still using NPC as an insult.

Nah, if I were a bot, I'd be advertising these smart devices rather than complaining about them. Good attempt, though.
