Yeah, a remote control iKettle sounds meh but a remote-control iKettle controlled by your iContact Lense, with the water fetched by a robot (can't be called iRobot unfortunately) sounds so much cooler.
To be honest, I used to want all of these things. What's changed my mind is that for every bit of money that comes into my life, hours of my life have been traded in some way. Why would I give up life hours for a gadget who's novelty will wear off within days when I'm perfectly able to fill a kettle or flick a light switch? Takes 2 mins.
I do think there are applications to providing independence to those less able. That's an important area to look into.
- hippo8 11y ago> remote-control iKettle controlled by your iContact Lense, with the water fetched by a robot Now that's a wonderful thought. This kettle sounds silly when I consider it in isolation, but if it was used along with other products which would then help automate an entire process that is just something I would throw my money at. I mean come on, a "water boiling path finding tea making robot", doesn’t sound so bad :p
- rwmj 11y agoIf you've got a robot that can fetch water, pretty much all other problems are solved. Particularly if it can understand a limited set of spoken commands like "make me a cup of tea". Of course it could go horribly wrong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAswvg60FnY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAswvg60FnY
