Tech is on a Roll

I Robot Assemblage    
From robotic barristas to 700 dollar cold press juice machines with wifi which require the company's brand of produce and wifi to test prior to operation ... tech is really going off the deep end.

I don't know, call me old fashioned but I think I prefer a young lady to make my coffee and a non-internet connected juicer which isn't a hot mess of technology gone mad.

As I grow older I have cultivated an appreciation for manual systems and I am not so interested in "the show" as I am that product which results.

Do I really need a networked car with systems which may be hacked remotely even as I am driving down the road ? I don't really think so.

Suffice it to say that while tech has it's place in my life as it does everywhere else; I am satisfied to keep it reined in to those applications I choose and I will not purchase anything which forces it upon me.

After all, if people cannot control tech then it's tech that will control people.

AI be damned.
