They're appliances. You use them to access the same websites and apps, with only marginal usability improvements and occasional regressions. Perhaps it's more than that. The increments are smaller and more frequent. Paradigm shifts are less common. Technology feels a lot more exploitative too. Getting a gadget is no longer a one-way trade. You get a feature in return for something that isn't your money. You don't wait for months and read all the reviews before something comes out. You don't even leave the house to check it out and order it. You just watch a few videos and have it delivered to your door. Getting something is such a non-event these days.
