Next up, Siri enabled bum detector. Hey Siri, is my ass clean? "Why don't you wipe it yourself and see?"

Back in my day we used our hands. These inventions are a sad use of our creative and engineering talent. Showers have knobs that you reach out and twist. There's nothing to solve.

Did you say the same thing when televisions gained remotes, car windows became motorized, garage doors no longer required manual lifting, etc?

I just knew someone would bring up points such as these to convince themselves this is innaovation. It’s not. It’s an expensive solution to a problem that does not exist. A fool and their money is soon parted.

I’ll knock your pins down one buy one:

Car windows became motorised because manual windowing in a car, espically while driving, was a pain to do and even cost lives: it needed solving. TVs needed remotes because you had to get up from the sofa and cross the room every time you needed to adjust the set. And motorise garage doors solved similar issues to both electric car windows and TV remotes for similar reasons in both cases.

None of this applies to a shower the vast majority of people use on perhaps two settings throughout the whole year, and which already have temperature knobs conveniently placed where you are standing, which require a simple twist to access your desired setting. Needing a smartphone to achieve this is a complete overzealous, convoluted and stupid waste of technology and human ingenuity for nothing but people’s money. But by all means give them your money and prove to them you are as dumb as they consider you to be.
