It's becoming more and more of a struggle to find basic things that aren't "smart". I can't stand it. Most things in our world do not benefit by being able to run software and connect to the internet. Or, if we're being generous, the benefits are tiny in comparison to the complexity and risk introduced, not to mention the ability to fix things down the road. The internet of things in 99% of cases is a classic example of "Too clever by half". Build simple things that last, don't turn everything into digital junk by making it run crappy software that harvests data.
