I happened to catch this on another site, added by a guy who sounded confused.
I can understand why....... WHY all those idiotic features?
This is the sorry state of current times.....

Read on:
"A few days ago, I bought a new Philips Norelco shaver; not the top of the line model, but somewhat in the middle. This thing has an illuminated symbol which appears when you turn it off. Green, if you shaved correctly, and red if you did it wrong. It also is equipped with Bluetooth, so you can be judged by a smartphone app, in an effort to educate you, and boost your self esteem and shaving prowess. Of course, it's also capable of shaving with lather in the shower. Huh? Why, just why? I can't believe a cadre of stubble faced consumers felt this was their ultimate grooming nirvana. But maybe I just don't get it."

LOL!
Great comback Jerome!

Just imagine, using a "new" electric shaver linking itself to your nearby smartphone, and sending you an A.I. message that you're not shaving properly!
Or reminding you to properly clean it.
Or, god forbid, warning you that the battery is going low, so hurry up and finish shaving.

I'm waiting for the tech industry to come out with a "smart" toilet paper dispenser that screams at you that you're using too much paper to take a crap, and that you're contributing to the ruining of the planet....
And then telling everyone in your online blogs that you're some slob who should be shunned for being so careless.

Same with some toasters I've seen that you download an app... ridiculousness.

Toasters, Hair Dryers, Toothbrushes, and other products that were once simple products - they all turned in "Download The App" freaks of manufacturing.
Just like major appliances have turned into "Troublesome Tech" pieces of garbage.

And it's another reason why they want to lure people into clinging on to that wonderful smartphone that's become another necessary part of the human body.

And if you don't have one, like me, you become chastized, ridiculed, and questioned why you refuse to have one.

My response is "because I don't believe in being another puppet, controlled by some electronic device."
IT'S JUST NOT NORMAL!

It hasn't gotten quite that bad yet but it'll eventually get there. Some newer appliances are requiring a downloaded app to make them functional, which requires a smartphone (as far as I'm aware of). That's definitely BS.
