The social disease of WiFi has been spread as a so-called "convenience" among the masses to suppliment the "wireless" trend which first started decades ago when the first "cordless" telephones and remote control tv's were available.Why do people want everything WiFi? It's stupid. Why are all dishwashers in Europe and down under built with complete cabinets?
And Matt just what do you think this website is!?
Oh, but Chet, they DO have a practical use in appliances!The difference is semiconductors and wifi have a practical application in personal computers, servers, and in the most of data delivery. They do not however have any practical application in appliances.

For the manufacturers!
A big ole weak spot in design, prone to failure, to boost sales revenue.
And that system is one that works well for manufacturers.Oh, yes indeed.
1) Advertising bait. Screens, jingles, features, ect make the customer feel like they are buying something better than their old machine.
2) Profound cheapening. Manufacturers can do away with advanced suspensions, material, quality parts, self regulating designs, deep sumps, intelligent engineering, ect ect because the programming will take care of all the shortfalls. If the electronics can spend an hour trying to balance a load and abort it altogether at the slightest centimeter of tub displacement you can do away with the robust suspension that previously handled it without a hiccup. You can make a dishwasher sump that is so shallow with such a cheap tiny motor that the control can afford to spend half an hour burping bubbles out of the sump and revving the motor up and down in real time to prevent dry cavitation.
3) Obsolesce. Electronics have a finite life expectancy. If they can make it past the 1 year warranty but fail after 3 years that is a new machine scored.

I've often spoken about society's "conditioning", and that's one thing that manufacturers count on.
