WHEN PROGRESS HITS A WALL: SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT FAILED EXPERIMENTS

Sometimes I think the best tech is the stuff you barely notice working in the background.

I get where you’re coming from, but I’ve actually found a couple smart devices that pull their weight. For example, my smart thermostat has saved me a ton on heating bills and just quietly does its thing—no fuss, barely any management. I do agree about the “smart” fridges though; tried one at my brother’s place and it felt like a touchscreen for the sake of it. Maybe it’s about picking the right tool for the job? Not every gadget needs to be “smart,” but some really do make life easier.
