There was a short story written by Ray Bradbury in the 1950s that was about a house with AI that kept cleaning and making meals and going about the daily routine despite the fact that a nuclear war happened and all the people living in the house had been killed. That story always reminds me of smart houses.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it has a back up generator and another generator for the back up generator
@@AMKmusic96 these people are probably super rich so they can easily buy a trillion generators and random things

@@thefunny6015 Or they just, I don't know, hire people who do it for them 😂!
@@AngelaMerici12 I imagine they hire a guy who runs on a human-sized hamster wheel to generate electricity when the power goes out.
imagine one day we have fully smart houses that lock you in/out if the internet dies
Lol
If you worked at Facebook in the past year or so, you don't have to imagine that at all - because it happened to their offices lmao.
@SnooDoodle Cute pfp!
Smart locks have hidden keyholes you fucking dipshit. Also furries are disgusting

Ive read WAAY too many dystopian books to EVER get a technology chip implanted ANYWHERE
Yet it's OK to chip a cat.
And your point is? Chips in cats are used so they don’t get lost and die 🧐

@@luciferswaltz cat isn’t a person dude.
@@allofthepoints9636 yeah so I guess they don't matter then? like you do not have a point at all. "cat isn't a person dude." does that mean it's okay to murder them? no. something doesn't have to be a person to be able to have rights.
I've actually had a smart house for years. It's great, at first the doors unlocked and locked whenever I waved my hand near them, instead of me just opening them. The house can control the doors too! It's great! The doors now lock whenever the house wants. I've been stuck here, in the bathroom for 10 years. But it's great. I love my smart house. I'd recommend getting one. It's great.
Blink twice if the smart toilet is holding you hostage.
say "I love my smart house" if this is a sign for help
@@sabazainab1245 I- I can't - the smart fridge is watching...
My smart house has gotten too smart. It hates m- I mean… My smart house is amazing haha! I love it so much. It’s great
Honestly, my smart house is now my mom. Not one of those cool, fun moms either. But one of those overly strict moms! The moment she sees me typing thi she'ld cbfds,ckdscvmkpgd;njkzih
As for the chip house, my brother uses magnetic locks on all the drawers in the kitchen to keep his toddler out of them, and I can’t open them. I feel like an idiot every time I’m swiping this magnet around to find the dang thing. I can’t imagine having to do that for every single drawer/door/cabinet in the house.
Is it more convenient??? Idk was it worth not investing in child lock? Maybe its more secure
Lmao just know you’re not alone in that my boyfriends sister has the same thing and I struggle with it
@@yuki97kira no, those drawers have knifes and chemicals in them, and she grabs for them when we do open the cabinets. She also loves slamming cabinets when we aren’t looking, so not only for her fingers’ safety, but for our sanity it’s much better lol.
the lock has deemed you unworthy of adulthood
@@isaacthered as always, the lock is correct. I don’t either
I have a severe joint disorder and I've been wanting one of those robots because sometimes my elbow dislocates under just the weight of a shopping bag. It kills me that I have a need for one and know exactly how it will fit into my life's needs, but she goes and just buys one because it's cute.
I wish these products were marketed more for people who could really have use for them and not JUST rich people who want to look cool
while it might not be exactly what youre looking for, theres a thing called hipstar thats like a high quality hip mounted bag/cart. its meant for hiking so its very sturdy. its still like $350 but thats way less than the two grand for the shopping robot and it holds way more. could be helpful to relieve stress from your joints.
@@Saibellus thanks so much for the recommendation! I will see how that fits into my needs 💜
omg I cant-
@@preppyxmaddi7920 You can't what
The “touchscreens everywhere’ idea of the future kind of horrifies me because imagine what companies will do with that. Your smart house blares ads at you as you enter. You can’t use your toaster because you forgot to pay a subscription. Pop-ups on your windows and mirrors. A power outage happens and you’re locked out of your house. Hell world
this scares me
And what if they come up with an excuse to put cameras or microphones on everything? Then it will be just like 1984 by George Orwell
It horrifies me for security reasons. I do not think they will put ads in houses or a subscription just for a toaster. Rather someone hacking smart devices in your home . Similar to those security cameras that random people had access to.
Absolutely. The more I learn IT and cyber security, the farther away I want to be from all the "smart" shit that doesn't need to be smart at all
@@Mel-nw2ko its already happening, ppl are hackong alexas ,ring cams etc and sometimes even talk to ppl through their hacked devices
As a cybersecurity specialist, I am very happy that all of these people are filling their homes with insecure smart devices. Keeps business booming lol
As a student I agree yayaya
😂😂
LMAO💀💀
As a person in software yeah… convenience comes at a cost
People are so dumb.
In the Korean smarthome, I suspect the “snow” can just as easily be yellow dust. Rain and snow are avoided more than in the US because of the yellow dust pollution in them, plus the straight-up dust itself. The dust comes from China’s deserts but also contains industrial pollution. It comes in very, very small particles (which is why KN95 masks are so great and plentiful - they are technically dust masks) and viruses and bacteria can be carried with the dust clouds. So regardless of what Americans would do in the same situation, some Koreans want to sanitize clothes when they get home. Sanitizing your shoes is also important because you wear socks or slippers in other people’s homes so having sneakers or work shoes with odors is more embarrassing that it might be for some Americans. Different cultures but these aren’t creating problems, they are solving problems that already existed in another place.
Now vacuum cleaners on the other hand … we used to be perfectly happy just dragging the carpets out twice a year and beating them to get the dirt out and now our floors are expected to be perfection?!? Stoopid vacuum cleaners creating new problems.
That’s oddly terrifying and dystopian as fuck. I can easily see dust storms from radioactive Chinese industrial waste leading to some real bad shit
The more I learn about Korea the more it looks like a dystopia on both sides of the peninsula
@@wren_. I understand that as a first reaction but the small amount industrial pollution largely comes from US manufacturing in China. The yellow dust is one natural problem (and mild cyclones are another) compared to the US’s more severe hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards, tornadoes, and volcanoes; additionally, our life expectancy is shorter, infant mortality is higher, , poverty is higher, healthcare is the same quality but harder to access (and actually costs money), and violent crime is astronomical. Kids in Seoul (a city larger than NYC) travel alone safely because adults consider it their responsibility to help them (and each other, but kids are special). Of course there are problems like higher suicide and a lack of diversity, although that is changing, so please don’t consider me an apologist for South Korea. But if you take literally half an hour to practice the writing system, you can read the street/subway signs and have a vacation with friends where they marvel at your skills. 😂

I'm down for smart mirrors if I can use the command "mirror mirror on the wall, make me not look like a fool" to buy clothing
"Redirecting from your preferences."
@@souppowell3818 shit, it better not auto order whatever I look up. Way too much leather for this weather
Actually I have an idea! A mirror that projects any clothes onto you so you can see how it would look on you before buying!
And btw my idea is for clothes online where you can’t try it
I used to think that smart mirrors were really cool until I realized that compared to a smart hub with a screen it loses in every single aspect while trying to achieve the same thing.
If Danny's phone is unlocked using his face, can't his millions and millions of dopplegangers unlock it too? Hm, I think we're onto something, greg.
Couldn't we unlock his phone with one of his videos??
You're absolutely right Greg.
@@humn7735 idk bro that one Greg who photoshopped himself to be Danny seems more suited
I think you’re on to something there
nice critical thinking Greg
i stayed in an airbnb with a bunch of friends and it happened to have a “smart” stove (no knobs, no buttons, just a screen)- it was literally impossible to use, we read the manual and everything lol, we couldn’t understand if it was on or off. we used our portable burner for camping to cook for everyone 😭 like when did people decide that buttons were unnecessary, im actually so bored of tapping on screens lol
The place I work has these ridiculous “high-tech” showers (but made in like 2008 so it’s just outdated at this point) and I’ve never showered in one, I just clean them, but I never know how to turn the water on cuz I swear it changes each time. I turn the knob I think controls the wand thing but then the shower head goes on and you try to turn it off but somehow that just made the water cold?? I think it’s just over complicated for the sake of being “high tech”
You couldn't tell if it was "off or on"? Well if it was getting hot it was on. If it stayed the same temperature it was off. Surely the manual should have told you that. Lol
@@HeyThatWeirdGuy obviously most electric stovetops stay warm for a bit until they completely cool after turning off- so we just kept checking it like, is it warm because it’s on, or is it warm because it hasn’t cooled down yet lmao 😭😭
@@caisagrace How long do you think they say warm for? If it was still warm obviously it was on very recent.
I think you should quit talking. You are embarrassing yourself.
Aren't all induction stoves like that?

No joke I could actually see someone doing this with ransomware or the like. "pay me 2k in Bitcoin or I'll permanently shut down your electronics"
Joe Lycett did something really similar to this on his show in a segment about Amazon selling kids' smart watches that are extremely easy to hack into. He had a cyber security specialist do all this stuff to a house he put a bunch of smart devices in and the guy shows how he connects to the unsecured WiFi. It's really cool.
I like the smart home from 13 minutes 'cause like a lot of it is just asian home tech. like the spraying of the coat, she was running a UVB light over it to kill bacteria they seemed to crop up online more after covid started, and the shoe heater is a shoe dryer to prevent bacteria (and shoe smell) from developing.
The speaker she puts in with produce is an ultrasonic produce cleaner, supposedly kills bacteria and knocks dirt and stuff off produce.
also japan and possibly other asian countries rarely have washers in apartments so the pop up washer is useful. basically most of the tech used is to sanitize the home
The problem is that most of the marketed UVB products do not reach a level high enough to actually kill anything. it’s very helpful in medical settings, but what you can get on the market is usually pointless. It also cannot be used on porous items like clothing. Additionally, that dryer isn’t going to protect against bacteria. If you’re worried about bacteria, put your shoes in a reusable bag and in your freezer. That actually will kill the bacteria and keep your shoes smelling good.
But what about the snow in the doorway? That's what confused me the most
@@jak1279 Probably just to give an excuse for why you'd need to use and in turn sanitize such a big coat
I read a book as a kid where houses were customizable and you could move walls and change layouts and eventually the house took over trapped everyone inside and crushed them to death….. been terrified of the concept of smart houses ever since
Ohh do you remember the name? Sounds good
was it “there will come soft rains” by ray bradbury by any chance?

I personally prefer a house that can do everything it normally even when the power cuts out. Which it does a lot now that it's the winter.
I have an outdoor toilet and a wood heated sauna (you can also heat water with it to wash yourself), I have a wood heated stove and two big fireplaces. No matter what happens (my country doesn't get hurricanes or things like that, I live in the north) I'm prepared lol
What if you're caught in the middle of an alien invasion?
@@rainingtacos7529 That's what the wood axe is for.
7:50 it sounds like that teacher who’s looking for a specific answer. “That’s a good answer, but what else could it be?”
Man I hate digitalising things that don’t need it. My city’s public transport recently forced students to use a mobile app instead of a travel card, and now my phone’s shitty battery dictates whether I have to walk home. Of course the card does also require an electronic reader, but at least I won’t get fined if it doesn’t work 😄
I can use transit/metro cards even if my Iphone is dead. Idk why android manufactures haven't figured that out yet.

What went wrong with smart technology is that it could have been so useful for disabled folk, but instead they make the tech super expensive, impractical to use, and they market it towards rich people who don't know what to do with their money. Overall just inaccessible.
damn i never thought about it like that.
totally agree
i hope this comment gets seen more because that’s a great point i didnt think abt
Couldn’t agree more with this
Fuckin thank you. EVERYONE will be disabled or sick someday, unless you pass away beforehand, I became disabled at 12 years old so it’s not like this stuff is reserved until you’re elderly, either, life happens. So the sooner the average person gets educated, the better! I’m so tired of people in my position completely falling through the cracks, being alive is hard enough as it is 👽
Yes, so cool to have a ring doorbell, with securiy flaws that were found less than a month after it started selling, and sending all that's happening in front of your house to Amazon, who are really known for being an ethical company, they would never use this data for malicious purpose
@@missmericana yes you're right sorry it was full of spelling mistakes I corrected most of them

Finally, someone who hates smart fridges as much as I do. 2 years ago my husband and I needed a new fridge and I had to fight the pushy sales associates to stop pushing smart fridges. They kept looking at my husband as they talked about the "streamline features" while he shrugged and told them to talk to me since I'd done all the research and knew exactly what we wanted. Why would I want to use twitter or Facebook on my fridge? Please just sell me a cold box!
At that point it might ACTUALLY be simpler to reinvent the fridge from the ground up. The main cavity is just an icebox, and the cooling mechanism is well documented.
@@esterbun9356 I like gordon ramsey's fridges. They blend right into the wall with nice wood paneling. Horizontal fridges are also nice if you don't mind bending over, because they lose less cold when you open them. (heat rises and cold sinks, so upright fridges spill their cold all over the floor every time they open, whereas horizonal ones hold it like a vessel of water). I almost want to invest in an icecream display like they have at gas stations, that way it's simple and easy to reach, plus you can see into it.
@@Queer_Nerd_For_Human_Justice can't believe i've never thought of getting one of those. nothing's really wrong with my fridge but what ur saying makes so much sense lol
I just want a fridge where I can see everything at the same time, and some way that I can check what's in the fridge when I'm shopping, because I have memory problems and always forget 💀
I have so much yoghurt in my fridge right now LMAO!
@@Zeverinsen i recommend using your reminder or notes app to write down common foods or items you buy then when you are done shopping checking off what you bought, it seems like a lengthy process but that’s what I do. I have 2 fridges, the old one is in the garage, and so i put a checklist on the inside one to make sure .i don’t buy unnecessary foods and stuff i already have
I feel like after a week of having to awkwardly use my wrist to unlock every door, drawer, and cupboard in my house, I'd just start leaving them all slightly ajar
Do you think they have backup keys? Like what if one day their hand got lopped off and then they're locked out of everything in their house? Lol

@@crypticcorvid I think her husband also has the chip thing
honestly the worst part about smart houses has to be the security risk. with all of that unprotected smart tech hooked up to the internet and linked together on a home network, do you really think even for a second that hackers wouldn't be able to take advantage of that? they could take complete control over the entire smart house and all the appliances if they wanted to! the worst part is that technically they wouldn't even have to work that hard or hack something super crazy to do something like this. they could hack something as simple as a smart lightbulb, and from there they would be inside your home's "internet of things"/smart home network thus giving them access to any other connected smart devices. super terrifying to think about, which is why i will never own a smart house! 💀
Joe lycett did a good video on that actually
Reminds me of that casino that got robbed because of their wifi enabled fish tank thermometer lol
The thing is unless your important or a smart person really dislikes you. No one cares enough to mess with that stuff
@@frostedlambs idk, I expect a future full of bots hacking these things either for data mining / credit card stealing or (in case of subscription products) ransomware type of shit, I don't think there has to be a person dedicated to hack me when botnets are not even new tech at this point. But honestly my worst fear is about totalitarian countries using smart bs to spy on their citizens. I know the quality of life of many might rise a bit from smart homes but the possible cons are so insane that I'm not thrilled about it. Especially when corporations like facebook are happy to share everything with governments in countries like China. Even Apple kinda sabotaged its users when they were protesting against the chinese government (IIRC it was something about automatic updates disabling some feature that protesters were using). So it's not even a conspiracy theory.
My main complaint about making toast is that there aren't enough buttons to push. Said nobody but Chipgirl.
Wow these houses are really cool. I think Danny should upgrade his house like this by maybe adding two smart light bulbs into a room? And he could do it himself? Idk just an idea
That would be extremely impressive. If he put him in by himself.
I actually did smart switches in my dining room just the way Danny described and I also felt extremely proud of myself. Then we replaced some of the other lights in the apartment with hue bulbs, which are easy and really cool because of the color options, but they still have regular light switches. So if you turn the switches off then you can’t control those lights from your phone. The Lutron dimmers can be controlled both ways which is awesome, but also they’re just regular bulbs.
He looks like the kind of guy to be able to accomplish this task
That would be cool
Ur pretty cute
i feel like the automatic soap dispenser works better in a public bathroom esp with covid because its used by people you dont know. it seems obsolete in your own personal home
Plus if it is just hooked up to the power in your house and the power goes out you’re kinda stuck
It can be very useful for children, the elderly, or the disabled but other than that it's unnecessary
yeah thats true!
i’m disabled, and it could be useful when my wrists or hands hurt a lot and i can’t move them
@@Man-ej6uv yeah the disabled thing is a good point i didnt think of that

Chip Girl: "This chip in my hand that unlocks things is so secure no one will be able to break into anything in my house!"
Me: "Unless they cut off your hand..."
the chip needs to be powered tho so rather kidnap her
@@jackalenterprisesofohio Ah but then the locked devices would just stay locked. If you have her hand you can keep the power and wifi on and unlock all her stuff.
@@hennie_booboo the chip works in a similar way that tap to pay cards work, so the chip doesn't supply the power, but the reader does
So if you cut off her hand it'll still work :)
blow torch, hammer, another lock, a drill, explosives, anything heavy
I think if that happens she will have bigger problems than her house being broken in to
Something that's bothered me for a while now -- visions of the future almost always focus on a domestic setting. This technology never leaves the house, or your own body. There's never a vision of what the technology could do on a public, civic scale -- improving the lives of an entire community rather than just a single family household.
Thats what a "smart city" was supposed to be, but instead we just got cameras everywhere.
It's easier to work out. Trying to guess a bigger scale is a bit too much. And the domestic thing is more immediate.
Probably because the goverments are not interested in advertising them using this type of technology because they are mostly interested in monitor people
Its all about making money and not about welfare
Tbf most of the major problems of a city have been solved in the modern era. Such as heat, sewage, and plumbing. The Reality is we got running water, we don’t have to worry about our waste, and our houses are heated. The three largest problems solved. Anything else is mostly solving inconveniences. Which personally I don’t think tax payer money should be wasted on it if it’s not necessary to life. If you want a cool trinket like a smart city pay for it yourself. It’s a waste of money just for something that translates to constantly being watched by police.
"I'm not exactly sure what is so great about this toaster"
Dude you just said it, it's Smart. This isn't just your average idiot toaster. We're talking Stephen Hawking, Marie Curie levels of intelligence. My own toaster is just a dummy and I'm super embarrassed by him. His name is Crispin and he is a dolt.
This comment is deeply underrated. A toaster called Crispin. Fucking genius.
Is the toasters name a reference to the novel "Crispin"? Some of the content of that story makes it possible lol
Please say hi to Crispin from me, i am very proud of him!
@@potatosack04 no dude u didnt get it, crispin is a dunce!! we are not proud of him
What exactly did poor Crispin do to you to make to resent him so much?
As someone with a relative with OCD, the blue light in the Korean Home one is an ultraviolet light that has the capability to kill germs. That's how bright it is.
The toaster thing reminds me of how every microwave has a popcorn or pizza setting that you're not supposed to use.
you can still use the popcorn and pizza buttons
they arent good enough to just press and walk away but at least you dont have to calculate a good time to use over multiple slices of pizza/bags of popcorn
if the buttons make it last too long just stop it early and if they arent cooking your food long enough just press it again
Danny's point about a self-cleaning toilet got to me. I don't have a self-cleaning toilet. I have to get on my knees and scrub like a fucking peasant. I will not accept that we have made any technological advances until nobody has to clean toilets any more. Oh, and printers actually work.
Bruh YES. Printers are the WORST.
Getting a printer to work 100% of the time may just cause a robot apocalypse. XD
I can’t believe I don’t have a self cleaning toilet
Facts. They have fancy toilets now with 16 different nozzles to spray down your dirty asshole, but they can't aim a couple of them inwards for a self-clean function? Wack.
I want to use this as my theater class monologue
Personally, I think the strangest thing is wanting to TALK to your virtual assistant to turn on lights, set timers, etc. I think to be able to control it all with an app would be much more convenient and less intrusive (considering Alexa/Google Home are ALWAYS listening to you). It just makes me feel weird talking to into the air to control my home.
That’s what I do with my Alexa. It’s on mute at all times, and I just use to app to do everything
I'm gonna defend that aspect as. People now are encouraged at least to put down their phone and in a roundabout way uses more effort to open the app, press a button. Turn off your phone and then putting it away.
It would be easier to just say you want it off and then just go to sleep
@@hihellothere9569 You're right, but the virtual assistant thing feels SO dystopian and awkward. Like, one of the most popular virtual assistants is sold by AMAZON and they are all listening to you 24/7. But also, I don't like that the way it's set up makes me feel like I'm supposed to pretend it's kinda like a I have a real person assistant. But I even hate when installing Windows 10 and it says "Don't worry." "We're taking care of everything." I think I really just hate personified technology.
@@fishfreakrequiem I think that part came in line as to how now technology feels too integrated into our lives that if otherwise would feel cold and distant. And would discourage the use of technology in which investors don't like.
But also, people just live in blissful ignorance. They don't really care whether or not someone is hearing that. And it's not like they are brainwashed or something (unless it's your definition) but people would rather live everyday in just pure ignorance than dread and you can't really blame them for that.
While I hate Amazon and big companies I don't really fault on the people just living them really. Google is even reading these comments rn scanning everything because a human cannot possibly do it.
I completely agree, but I just wanna say being able to use speech commands is great for disabled people, like if you are blind or have motricity issues that make it hard to hold your phone or press buttons. I’m just saying that this option isn’t completely useless but of course if you don’t need it you should be able to not have it cause to me it feels so weird and dystopian that it’s mandatory for everyone like in sci fi movies abt AI lol

“No, she is an AI… she’s basically the house. Why- why are you grinning like that. I can see something devilish in your eyes, are you good?”
My favorite smart item was our smart washer and dryer. We had the set when we moved in. Get this, you can turn on the washer or dryer from anywhere! Sounds great until you realize you still have to load the clothes in, with the soap, and while you're there you just might aswell start the machine.
Yeah 😂 it's like a laundromat where you have to start the machines from an app which is less convenient and slower than using controls on the machines
😂
The only "smart fridge" I want is the one that auto refills the water in a jug. That would be amazing!
And it is not even hard to design... connect it to a water source, and there is hundreds of ways to make the jug know when he is empty and when he is full ......
i have one of them, where it'll scan the cup you put under it and you don't have to do anything. it's very buggy though, sometimes it will over fill, and if you put ice in it, it won't know when to stop
I want the ones that have the souces inside
I just use the sink
I would love one that auto refills my bear
Part of why this annoys me is that it’s just so wasteful. They aren’t automating things to make it more accessible to disabled people, they’re doing it to cater to wealthy people who want to look cool. It’s a completely unnecessary waste of our planet’s finite resources. Rare earth metals are called that for a reason, and the process of mining them is often done with unethical labor methods and is extremely damaging to the ecosystem. And in addition to that, it requires electricity to run them!
Reminds me of that idiotic “smart composter” that was billed as being eco-friendly, but actually has a net negative impact on the environment because of the amount of electricity it required. And all because wealthy people don’t want to just keep a compost bin in the cupboard under the sink or in their backyard?
In my chronic illness class there was an article we had to read about how technology can help those with disabilities and it’s recommended smart watches.. i can see how it might help people but it’s so impractical and also expensive, there needs to be more effort with making things accessible
extremely well put!!!! capitalism at its finest, it may breed innovation, but unnecessary innovation that only the extremely wealthy can take advantage of

Plus not alot of people can give good histories so if you can tap your chip and then the doctors have access to your medical history it could help a great deal .. My step-uncle died because the doctors didn't know he had a previous heart condition when he was younger so they treated his lung issue with medication that wasn't good for his heart ..

The longer I think about Danny talking about how the furniture is closing in on him, and the more I think about how I KNOW that part of him pretending to be the chair took serval takes (bc he’s literally hunched over and crouched down, scooting along on his tippy toes) and he probably fell a few times while filming this, the funnier it gets

@@otomostubeofficial2697 that's not an intrusive thought, it's just a thought
And what?
@@otomostubeofficial2697 an intrusive thought is an unwanted thought that causes distress to the person. For example, maybe you see a random cat on the street. A normal impulsive thought would be "What if I went over and picked it up", while an instrusive thought would be "What if I went over and *insert horrible heinous act of violence*" even though you don't actually want to do something like that at all.
When you call a normal or even a weird impulsive thought "intrusive", you're trivializing mental illnesses. It's not that big of a deal in this case, but I've seen a rise of using "intrusive thoughts" instead of "impulsive thoughts". What this means overall is that people don't take me seriously when I talk about the struggles of dealing with intrusive thoughts because they think I mean "Sometimes I think of stealing my professor's wig in the middle of the class" when I mean "My brain conjures images of me killing my family for no reason and against my will"

This reminds me of that Tesla that caught fire the other day, and the driver got trapped in their car because the doors automatically locked when the power failed. I feel like a lot of smart devices really aren’t designed to properly account for emergency situations, aka when a smart device should be most useful. Like, it’s all fun and games owning a smart fridge until there’s a power outage and suddenly you’ve lost all access to your food in a crisis.
Oh god reading this just made my stomach turn...
While it's statistically insignificant there have been 85 Tesla fires some since 2013, with 32 deaths. You would think that after the first fire they would install extinguishers and manual options for exit
what in the black mirror..
they have manual handle in case of emergency
@@andreafire27 that is true, the main issue with it is that a) the manual doo handle isn’t immediately obvious, and the more time you have to spend looking for it the more time you are in the burning car. And b) only the front doors have the manual lock, so anyone in the back of the car may end up scrambling to find an unlocking mechanism that was never there.
Automated Christmas tree lights could be done by just plugging them into a timer. I used to have timed lights for some indoor plants, and we have a timer for our hose in the backyard.

1. I think the bluetooth speaker looking thing might be an ultrasonic cleaner. I don't know if they are useful tho.

I live in Korea, and I think rather than snow it's supposed to be representing what they call "fine dust". Pollution from factories in China and sand from the Mongolian desert blow in to Korea quite regularly and are a severe health hazard, and can make everything quite dusty and dirty very quickly. The light looks similar to products I've seen here that are meant to sanitize and neutralize pollutants that can affect skin health etc. I might be wrong, it's hard to tell, but considering the rest of the products shown were for cleaning it's my best guess.
Whew, I thought it was nuclear fallout.
@@demo2823 it could be snow from a nuclear winter

I'm a disabled person that uses smart tech and mostly I'm just frustrated that companies can't just stick to one long term ecosystem so all of my things can communicate without me having to buy a new hub every year. Smart homes have great potential to make my life easier but I feel like all the time saved gets spent figuring out compatibility issues and troubleshooting - and then there is the eternal dread that the manufacturer can just brick your device because they went out of business or they just want you to upgrade. My bet is that we'll never get a true smart home because capitalism will always ruin it.
i think the open source software + hardware communities could probably make some really good stuff in the near future
@@sircalvin the problem is, of course, the cost of production. open source works well for things that do not cost too much to make- so, simpler AIs that produce shoddy but funny results (AI dungeon is a good example of this- not open source I think but free / copyright free), a browser (firefox), and some specialty software that has been in development for years (krita, which while mostly up to industry standards, lacks the ability to export to photoshop document, which is for some reason a gold fucking standard).
these things either are in production for a literal decades at time, and are still slow to update features the community asks for, or are simple to code. a smart home is neither of these things, because you need to make a range of different hardware and software compatible with each other. plus, many of these open source projects are done for a reason- AI dungeon as a sort of experiment and as entertainment, firefox because programmers care deeply about browsers ofc, and krita by people in the art community who wanted a photoshop alternative.
generally, things that people would *need* more than *want* are not solved by open source.
Straight facts homie.
Don't blame capitalism for greed and stupidity.
"My bet is that we'll never get a true smart home because capitalism will always ruin it." Capitalism is the only reason why any of those things exist. Do you think it's cheap to make cutting-edge technology to improve people's lives? No, the problem is that all of this is new and it takes decades for this stuff to really start working. The computer has been around since the 80s and technically earlier depending on what you want to define as a computer. Everybody jumped in in the late 90s though because that's how long it took to make that a practical everyday device that people would make common use of and could be depended on in the long term.
None of those things were subsidized by the government by the way.

would you buy a smart fridge if it had Danny Gonzalez's voice and demanded random things of you?
Honestly, I think that having a smart house is a bad idea because everything is powered by electricity which means:
- You are consuming a lot of energy to do things that you could be able to do already.
- Blackouts wretch anything and everything, unless you use batteries, but they can go out and ruin everything.
- Any repairs to the house will be expensive.
- And don't forget the _piece a resistance_ , you could do all those things already (probably).
The only reason you should be using a smart house, if you are in need of one. Like those who are disabled, or are suffering with injuries, rather than just random rich people flaunting their wealth.
and I mean it's like....how much more convenient does a fridge, for example, even need to be? Hard to improve on the "open door, retrieve foodstuffs" model
But who will lonely ppl interact with if their refrigerator cant talk?
Is this the sims
Or a light indicator for a setting on a laundry or stove goes bad, good luck trying to figure out what temp or setting the things on.
Things like smart lightbulbs or light switches aren't even that expensive, so you don't have to be rich to have them. Smart locks could cost hundreds of dollars though. Still only a week of minimum wage though.
Smart houses could be useful for disabled people, if most smart products weren't crazy expensive and difficult to set up, and there are definitely products that are useful (like doorbell cameras). But otherwise a lot of smart products are likely just dystopian ideals hidden as "progressive" and "technologically advanced convenience"
We're running out of ways to make tech convenient for the everyday person, so they're just teching everything.
Also, I read about how a LOT of these types of things are actually made for and intended for disabled people but they just don't want to portray a disabled person using them (for some stupid reason) they'd rather have their versions of models to showcase the item
@@PixelatedPeach they never market or show it as being for disabled people because 1) theyre almost always ableist and 2) they know society is ableist and many people will look down on the product if its associated with disabled people. its like how companies that participate in pride month arent necessarily pro-lgbt, they just know that society is becoming more accepting of lgbt people and so theres less risk involved in publicly displaying pro-lgbt messages. its all about how they will be perceived, nothing more.
What’s dystopian about this technology. No ones making you get it. What is dystopian. Is cameras being everywhere.

@@joshuaspath6923 you have a good point but at this point alot of smart technologies are a need not a want. How are you gonna do schoolwork or schedule an appointment without a phone or laptop when they made everything to be used through online convenience? Those same laptops and phones constantly monitor where you go online and try to steal information to sell. Or even worse with that one case about Dell laptop cameras being hacked so someone could just watch you anytime. That's why it feels a bit dystopian

MAN THE DANNY’S REACTION TO THE MOVING FURNITURE HAS GOT ME BAWLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING OUT LOUD😂😂😂😭
I learned about "techno-chauvinism" in class this year, which is the misguided belief that more tech is inherently better or the right solution. A lot of the time we're just reinventing the wheel and the tech is unnecessary or we are making systems and products actively worse by trying to "techify" it
This has always bugged me about tech fanatics, but I never knew it had a name until now. Thanks!
i feel like a lot of it is just tech companies trying whatever they can to make things more expensive without making actual improvements
What class did you take? That's super interesting.
Yup.. I work in newbuilds and I can't explain to you how ridiculous those smart curtains are... It takes like 4x the amount of time to open and shut them and they ALWAYS get stuck and needing repair.. what a waist of electricity and money.
Tech is also cheaper than mechanical components. Fridge companies are so cheap, they don't even want to spend the extra money to put in actual buttons for water and ice. Washing machine companies are so cheap, they don't want to spend the extra money to put in an actual mechanical dial.
So, to sum up Danny’s point in this video:

Not everything needs to be "smart", especially if it just means slapping a screen on it. Smart fridges and mirrors? What advantage do they have over a regular tablet? I don't need 15 devices in my home that can show me a weather forecast if I can just glance at my phone lol. Also, touch controls have no advantage over physical buttons or switches.
The one advantage touch controls could have (i think its more of a side grade) is for remotes or something.
So if something is spilled it does not get in the button cracks
Car touch controls are literally dangerous
I think a smart fridge or similar device could be cool if it broadcast the info TO YOUR TABLET instead of having an expensive breakable screen on the front
I hate touch screen because you get finger prints all over the screen and then you have to wipe it every 5 seconds.
the smart mirrors would just... get in the way of seeing yourself
what if i wanna take a pic of myself in the mirror but there's just a wall of text and images on there
The thing is most of the ideas weren’t predicted it’s just people really wanted the same things so with time and newer technology they were able to improve past concepts.
5:01 I have a Alexa and i agree THEY ALWAYS TRY TO SELL ME STUFF
Used to live with a guy who insisted on buying only Kogan brand smart products. Everything in the house was a low-grade smart product. (He tried to make me pay for some of it even, but like... no.) and it made everything so fuckin annoying. Forty-five seconds to turn on a light is not convenience. A smart vacc that can't pick anything up from the carpet is not convenience. A smart air frier (just what the fuck?) DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY EXTRA FUNCTIONS! The smart heater was... who really needs a smart heater? It was also just not the kind of heater it was sold as. The smart TV was so bad it couldn't play tv because IT DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH RAM!
Smart weather station? More like: 400 dollars worth of broken gadgets.

WHAT'S SMART ABOUT THAT?
Putting technology into everyday objects isn’t always the greatest idea. Smart technology uses more materials, which as a result, costs more money, which would raise the price of the item. Right now it’s ok, if you don’t want a smart fridge don’t buy one, but eventually we might get to the point where the only fridges available are smart fridges so you might have to pay a hell of a lot of money for a fridge. Like with cars right now, pretty much every car has a screen replacing the dashboard, so the cost of cars rose to accommodate that (of course its not the only reason car prices are higher but its part of the reason).
I believe smart technology is making our lives more expensive for no reason, and is taking away the availability of affordable options and forcing everyone to get the most high tech version. Like with cars, if you wanted to get a new car without a fancy little screen in the front, good luck with that, you’re stuck paying. It’s also taking away from people buying parts to fix things and forcing everyone to buy new machines instead of replacing broken ones, which isn’t good for our environment since people generally don’t know how to fix a whole damn computer when it breaks leading to a lot of wasted resources just because society decided people need a screen on a fridge.
My mom literally had to pay MORE (something like eight years ago) to NOT have the screen installed in her car because she still wanted a CD player. Modernity is a nightmare. They make the cheaper options more expensive than the already expensive ones so we just buy those anyways and get used to them.
I mean, not really. I think there will always be a market for cheap fridges and companies will will out the different price options with different models. There are tons of people who aren't able to afford high end fridges but still need a fridge, and so they'll want to buy a cheap fridge and a companies will know that and give people products for them to buy. One of the perks of capitalism.
@@genieinthepot2455 Cheap fridges, not affordable but good quality
i'm pretty sure the screens are just cheaper and that's why they are doing it. It's much easier to change the appearance of something on a screen and cheaper to get a cheap tablet than custom mechanical parts. Thankfully fridges don't need any indicators so there is nothing for the screen to replace.
Imagine buying a smart fridge and having to subscribe to the fridge company with a monthly fee to keep it running in addition to your power bill.
Everything is trying to be a subscription service it wouldn't even surprise me at this point.

as someone with anxiety that can absolutely verge into the realm of paranoia, living in a smart house is my idea of hell. this shit is only able to respond to you because it's got cameras and microphones wired up constantly, and internet of things stuff has a habit of having the worst cyber-security on planet bloody earth. so not only is the house definitely spying on you 24/7 in hopes of selling you a new brand of peanut butter, but basically anyone else could be too! wonderful, excellent, exactly what anyone would want.
It makes me crazy to think people want this kind of stuff
Yea sure Google and Alexa are 100% spying on you but I don't think my smart lightbulb is reporting its on/off state to the NSA.
I will say I will 100% never ever put cameras inside my house but if someone wants to spy on my condo Hallway, more power to them I guess
True this house is a panic attack and a manic episode wrapped in one
That isn't paranoia, that's just how it works. They're not exactly secretive about how they put cameras, microphones, in everything, and outright tell you "if you want this _inset minor convenience_ then you need to send all your information us". That is why I I don't use any tech made after 2010, and keep a shotgun to shoot anything that tries to connect to the internet without my say so.
Another thing I don't like is the insistence to put tech in everything to the point of detriment. So that these companies can just brick all your devices if they want, except your devices also include your oven, fridge, door lock, cupboards, etc. Imagine coming home to all your food spoiled, or not even being able to open your fridge door, because the company went bust. Or even worse imagine not even being able to open your front door because the company discontinued your model of lock. There was a man in a tesla who nearly died not long ago because the door lock is fully automatic, there was a fire and power went out - meaning it was impossible to unlock to door and he was stuck inside - he only survived because someone noticed and kicked the window in.
Yep and a lot of this stuff isn't even accessible to disabled people who would actually need it because a) it's all so expensive and just marketed at rich people and b) it would need updates/replacements which would also be costly and c) an inconvenience disguised as a "breakthrough in technology." There's so much potential for these things to be genuinely beneficial to society and yet corporations just choose profit and people buy it up regardless of the fact that you basically forfeit your privacy with these things. I'm already bombarded with enough ads I don't need my fridge to tell me what kind of socks are in season this year.

I remember I have a neighbor who bought a smart fridge when they started getting popular (random backstory on this guy that I find funny, he calls himself the nicest guy, and he keeps going on about how nice he is, so I actually forgot his real name and just call him The Nicest Guy) anyway he bought the fridge and it was going great. One day his kid started pressing different things and rubbing on the screen, and all of the shelves inside literally collapsed and the door was flung open and then the fridge fell forwards. I wouldn't have believed that if I didn't see the aftermath, it was insane. I prefer dumb fridges, and mine sings when I close it, and I named it the Nightingale. I'm very happy with my singing fridge and will keep it until it refuses to work.
@@gianna526 I bet he was the nicest guy
Could have glued an ipad pro to the thing for cheaper!
@@gianna526 why do bad things only happen to the nicest guys 😔
Danny’s definition of “yelling” is crazy
13:55 I think this is a shoe dryer
On the shoe warmer thing: most homes in Norway have those. And almost all day cares do too. Not only does it warm your shoes, but it helps dry them. So instead of your winter shoes still be wet the next day when you have to go to work/school, they’re dry. Actually super convenient and helpful.
My family has one and we only live in Connecticut in the U.S. where it isn't as cold as Norway. It feels nice to have dry shoes after getting them wet with snow. :)
I worked at a summer camp and we had a few of them in a bunch if buildings! Super useful even when it's not cold during the summer, especially with how wet our shoes got usually
Boot/shoe dryer. Love it for my kids shoes. Also good for work shoes so they don't get too smelly

That must be the coziest thing ever
I think the lady was sanitising her clothes, the spray looked like a UV light that's sometimes used for sanitation. I'm not sure how effective it would be on clothes though, just that's the closest thing I can think of. As for the tiny washer, I think that could be good if you're in a single person household and don't want to go out to a laundromat- it could save money/water, I guess? If I lived alone I wouldn't mind getting a smaller one.
Also that one was on the MyKoreanHome account lots of apartments in Asia don't come with laundry machine or a dryer. If they had a dryer version the would be nice because most don't have dryers even if they come with a laundry machine. It could also be really useful for delicate clothing such as lace, less chance of damage.
yeah, that actually seems like a decent idea (depending on the price). I live in America but my apartment doesn't have in unit washer/dryers, a little thing like that might be useful for small loads. But I also have two sinks (more if you count my roommates' sinks), a bathtub, and a bucket so its not like I can't just hand wash things if I need to. What would be more useful, like 'it's just me' mentioned, is a counter top dryer. The amount of energy and hot air that would produce might not be sustainable depending on your situation, but for someone like me who also doesn't have a balcony to hang things, it could be a good alternative to hanging things up in my shower/closet.
@@SilverDragonJay I think I have heard of clothes spinners maybe? So they spin out the water from small loads? Wish I could remember more, but I’ve definitely seen people discuss these small load solutions before
I actually just posted about this. It can actually work, but it has to sit under it for a while and has to be covered in it. She would be better off leaving her jacket in the sunlight than using a UV flashlight for five seconds.
