Anyone else feel awkward talking to their TV?

Title: Talking To Tech vs Real Materials

I get where you’re coming from. There’s something about a remote that just works—no fuss, no yelling at the TV hoping it understands. I’ve designed a few spaces where clients wanted all the latest tech, but honestly, the rooms that feel best are the ones with real wood, soft fabrics, and simple controls. Voice assistants can be handy for accessibility, but for most of us, it’s just another layer between us and actually relaxing. I’d rather invest in a solid coffee table than a “smart” lamp that listens in all day.
