Retired from 40 years in the video production industry. I enjoy using smart technology to bring convenience and efficiency to everyday life. Technology must serve an instrumental purpose. What benefit is there in the ability to give a verbal command to a smart speaker to turn on a room light when there’s a physical switch within reach as I enter the room? On the other hand, receiving a notification from a Wyze contact sensor letting me know my garage door has been left open for more than a half-hour, that’s a quality of life improvement.
