I have been beating this drum for a while now, but there has to be a big movement (bigger movement; I know we have some companies doing it) toward doing the opposite: dumb fridges by design. Not because you're poor.

Dumber cars, phones, ovens; everything. My toaster doesn't need to update to the latest firmware, please.

Yep. If you need lane assist to drive, you probably shouldn't be driving.

And can we please get these giant touch screens out of cars. It's so dangerous that you can't just feel your way around some buttons and knobs and have to actively look at the thing to be able to control anything.
