The convenience is being able to sit your fat ass on the couch and yell vaguely in the direction of a smart assistant to turn off the lights without having to get off the couch.

Were the idea that a smart refrigerator could tell you when you’re about out of milk or coming up on the expiration date Instead of having to open your fridge and take a look.

It’s a mild convenience that supposedly frees up extra time to do something else. The sad part is that something else is usually staying glued to your phone, social media, or TV.
