I’ve been thinking about the technology I’m most thankful for – ‘tis the season, after all – and while it may not make it into my Thanksgiving dinner speech, I can’t imagine life without our modern conveniences. Not to follow too closely on the heels of Todd’s post last week, but many of my favorite digital advances lead to laziness. Especially this morning, when it’s 20ºF in the garage, I’m happy to have seat-warmers that start with my car. And since I walked out of the house without turning off the lights, I’m awful glad there’s a phone I can speak into that will abide by my command. Makes sure the garage door is shut, too. And turn on the alarm.
So, it seems I’m thankful for my smart home. But I’ll be just as happy when it all seems a bit dumber, filled with family and poorly timed side-dishes.
Happy Thanksgiving !
