Imagine waking up tomorrow morning and your home suddenly has a mind of its own—lights adjusting themselves, coffee brewing exactly when you stumble out of bed, or even your fridge reminding you that you're low on milk (again). Would you feel relieved to have all these little things taken care of, or would it kinda creep you out? I'm honestly torn between "wow, finally!" and "um...is my toaster judging me now?" Curious how others would react to this.
Honestly, I'd be pretty relieved. I've had a few smart home gadgets for a while now—mostly lights and thermostats—and once you get used to them, it's hard to go back. A couple months ago, I stayed at my sister's place for a weekend (she's very anti-tech), and I swear I spent half the time fumbling around in the dark looking for switches or waking up freezing because the heat didn't auto-adjust overnight. Felt like stepping back into the stone age.
But yeah, I get the hesitation too. My fridge already nags me about water filters and stuff, and sometimes it does feel like it's silently judging my snack choices. Still, if my coffee maker knew exactly when to start brewing without me programming it every night...I'd happily let it judge away.
