Your thermostat has opinions now. Your television requires a login. Your car updates itself overnight, and sometimes when you start it in the morning, the interface has rearranged itself, as if someone broke in and reorganized your dashboard while you slept.

Your earbuds won't play music until they've updated their firmware. Your refrigerator wants to be on your Wi-Fi.

a little repetitive but ⅓ of it was fun to read.

⅔ was better not read 🤷

Not a fan of the continuous scroll article. It is putting more onus on me, making me responsible not just for reading words and examining images, but for triggering animations, setting the pacing, and un-distracting myself when I scroll back and forth to rewatch how the screen interprets various inputs because I can't help myself.

Yes, you have to scroll anyway. But scrolling is more akin to turning a page than giving the "See 'n Say" another whirl. I agree with the authors sentiment but wrapping it in an overly complex delivery mechanism has just a hint of irony.
