I think the title says it all...
Recently, I watched an article on BBC news about Amazon and how they'd built a microwave that would communicate with their Alexa (or whatever it's called). When quizzed about why they'd done this, the Amazon rep said that it was because some things were too difficult to cook. In a microwave? Really?
Well here's a couple of novel ideas.
1) instead of building an internet ready microwave (if they are so concerned about people and their microwave cooking abilities) then why not just be all philanthropic about it and release a chart of all conceivable power and time settings for things to cook in a microwave. Let's face it, they must already have that information ready for Alexa.
or
2) people should just learn to cook instead of living out of packets and relying on ridiculously over-engineered pieces of worthless crap!
Honestly, I used to love reading about the latest technology but this is just nonsense to con naive people out of their hard earned cash. I find myself becoming more and more disillusioned with the directions these companies try to steer civilisation in. If its not ignorant cretins filling up social media with hate, it's new-age carpet baggers trying to sell their modern equivelants of 'wonder treatments for all ailments and problems'.
