"I can't say that I live in a smart home. For one thing, I'm not smart
enough to figure out half of the gadgets that can answer my queries like
some kind of maidservant savant while monitoring the freshness of my
refrigerator.
"Another problem is that all these devices that
promise to save money actually cost a lot of money themselves. Two
hundred dollars for a doorbell that sends pictures of the person at the
door. I'll stick to the window, thanks.
"I suppose I have
officially joined the older set that no longer sees every new invention
as proof of our species' superiority and begins noticing the cracks in
technological culture.. . .
"And yet, there are a few hidden examples where technology and tradition intersect in some interesting ways."
