- culebron21 3y agoIn 2002 I was dreaming of having a voice-controlled smart teapot connected to water pipe, that would pour and boil me the exact amount I need (and other amount for others). Now I dread this stuff and avoid buying devices that live their own life and make decisions for me (and are always buggy), plus require a whole lot of maintenance. (Maintenance and fragility are what comes to my mind when guys show their raspberry-pi home contraptions off.)
