Cloud Connected Washer

I have to agree on the privacy issue

Heck, already big brother knows not only when you drop a duke, but how much and what kind of potty paper you use.

Simply put, there is no need to put laundry in the cloud unless of course one is referring cloud soft drying or something like that.

And since when do microwaves in homes exist? Have there been any officially connected causes of cancer linked to microwave ofens? Has the number cancer cases increased after the microwave ofen became popular? I don't think so.

In this case, I imagine that the theory is that you cannot be caused undue harm from microwave-waves. 

Here is something I pulled off Google: http://www.darvill.clara.net/emag/emagmicro.htm

You should be CAREFUL around a microwave - God only knows how cheap the "Anti-Wave" stuff they employ to stop the microwaves escaping are, and how effective, if at all, they are. 

Included as well is the EM-Spectrum from Wikipedia, just so we're all sure to be on the same wave-length!

(Oh, thats punny...)

Yes ...

"Have there been any officially connected causes of cancer linked to microwave ofens? Has the number cancer cases increased after the microwave ofen became popular?"

Actually, yes.

I Might Add:

Years ago, someone had the "bright idea" of placing a Mobile-Phone tower smack-bang amongst several businesses in our community. 

 

Since then, at least 6 people from those businesses, including someone from my own family, have developed Breast Cancers. I believe the male affected might have had either a Lung or Brain cancer. However, I'm not too sure on that one. 

 

So I am somewhat skeptical of how 'safe' mobile towers really are. Of course, other lifestyle factors can influence, and I'd imagine the occurrences of this would probably be Normally Distributed - given such few people have been affected. 

 

HOWEVER - we have been very disappointed with the surveyors conclusion that the tower poses "No Risk" to the well-being of people working right underneath the thing, five days a week, six hours a day - when there have CLEARLY been several cases of people working there AND developing carcinomas. 

Not happy, Jan!

I've been writing stories on EMF and health ...

... and frankly, the more I research, the more alarming the evidence I'm finding.

And it's not just microwaves, but "dirty electricty" as well.

Keep in mind that it's extremely difficult to "officially" connect ANY cancer cases to ANYTHING, short of smoking and lung cancer (and even then, it's never a proven thing, it's just a correlation, which of course never proves causation).

No thank you.

I will pass on this. It is not that hard to do laundry. As a blind person, I rely on a talking color detector to presort my laundry so I don't have to worry about it later.

@NYCWriter

The sad reality is that wiring errors in buildings like standing neutral to ground faults and crossed neutrals easily produce magnetic fields higher than powerlines and running appliances. In the US most circuits are not RCD protected at the panel, so these wiring errors go undetected.

@gelaundry4ever: I'll pass as well. When I saw twittering laundry that was enough for me:

This is why I wouldn’t loose too much sleep if I woke up and it suddenly was 1965 all over again. There’s no real choice in anything anymore, all cars are basically the same these days and is the same as appliances as well. It’s safe to say there’s a virtual monopoly on cars, appliances, and electronics since there’s no distinction from the competition anymore since it’s just another copy from another company.

I may be apart of Gen Z but I don’t fall for the latest and greatest technology, reason why companies use the term “technology” is it’s nothing more than marketing. People will think it’s new when in reality it’s something that’s been rehashed from a few years ago to make people think it’s new when in reality it’s not.

and in addition to the color reader...

I have a laundry hamper with 3 separate compartments to aid in sorting too.
