This is true, without your qualifier. Go into a random house in America and you won’t find many smart appliances. Internet of things devices are more of a hobby for those with disposable income, than some thing greatly taking over. There’s not a real problem that smart lightbulbs are solving to be worth the time and hassle for most people. There are a couple of exceptions, like internet connected TVs that can play Netflix for you, make a lot of sense. But go look at Home Depot, not many fridges, ovens and microwaves are being advertised and sold as smart.
- malaya_zemlya 6y agoI was just recently shopping for a fridge and I can report that it was surprisingly difficult to find a fridge without wifi. Sometimes it's only for remote service and maintenance, not for anything "smart", but it's there. At least the model I got doesn't internet connection to function normally. Yet.
