Modern technology, while useful, has been somewhat of a disappointment to those of us of a certain generation. I mean, it's nice to have access to the sum of human knowledge at my fingertips - as well as order a pizza or a ride whenever I need it - but where is my hoverboard? My flying car?

And while technology can be harnessed to solve the world's most pressing and complex issues - clean energy, mitigating poverty and inequality, curing diseases; just to name a few - we seem to spend an awful lot of time on trying to make the smart technologies even more convenient for ourselves. Who cares if the planet is burning up outside if our home appliances can automatically adjust the temperature inside, using an app that cleverly measures our body temperature thus avoiding the need to laboriously stand up an walk over to the thermostat? Such are the modern times!

The Twitter account Internet of Sh*t recognizes our obsession with frivolous, useless and downright invasive new technologies and there's nothing better than to poke fun at it. Because nobody really wants a world where Facebook controls our money and reads our minds with brain-machine interfaces, do we? Perhaps we could focus a little more on say - an alternative to plastics and fossil fuels - and less on building a hyper-convenient, dystopian world of mind control, data harvesting and artificially intelligent fridges?

Scroll down to check out some of the public shaming from Internet of Sh*t for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments below!

    It's a simple design. Just set up an angled area at the bottom of the hinge and a cam that rotates if the door has been open too long plus a simple passive sensor to detect if someone is using the fridge/freezer. When the fridge has been open and left unattended for say 3 minutes the cam activates, rotates under the hinges slope and the hinge will 'slide down' the cam causing the door to shut. It will cost very little to add this feature to a future line

    sometimes you leave food in such a mess the door simly cannot close. Modern fridges do try to close their doors and if they fail, they make sounds, or in samsung's case - ring your phone. This "comeback " is clearly written by someone who never used a fridge.

So yeah, Apple should have told but it's indeed the better experience --- it was on older phones ("1-2y"? no), so not people hungry for performance.

    The IoT (Internet of Things) is a solution in search of a problem and completely unnecessary for the most part.Talk about being sold a bill of goods. It's bad enough that kitchen appliances, along with many other things, don't last along as they used to, but soon we'll be in a situation where a software update can render your refrigerator (or whatever) obsolete and unworkable.

    Same as comment below it's a thermomix, it's a catering grade blender, I have the same one in work, you can programme recipes into it so you don't need to have them written down. Personally I don't use this function but some people probably do. It is by far however one of my favourite kitchen appliances. It can heat as well as blend, and you can set it to a desired temperature, takes a tonne of time out of a recipe that would otherwise need whisking by hand especially things like ice cream base as the eggs don't scramble in this thing

    I don't know where 'here' is for you, but it is supposed to be the same in the UK. If it cannot be understood and read in a timely fashion by an average person, it is invalid and any complaints are supposed to be resolved against the favour of the organisation which drafted the document. But that rarely seems to happen, so the bar for complexity must be set pretty high. In the USA where most of these tech companies are based I hear contract is king and you can be made to agree to anything short of crime.

    That's the problem with all this s**t, like Thermomix and Roomba, connected to your wifi. These devices have simple security systems, so the hackers can use them to gain access to your wifi... and then to your computer, mobile, etc. It's funny, because people worry a lot about the antivirus and firewall in their computers, and then they connect these pieces of c**p to their wifI, which is like leaving the door open to whoever wants to hack your devices.

    I love eating. Now, why the f*ck would I want to get an electronic fork that destroys the immersion (if you wanna call it so) by annoying me way more than even the most helicoptering parents could? Also, I probably can't eat while it's doing a software update. I'd like to throw it out in the garbage, but my shoes are updating at the moment...

    It’s for people who eat too fast and don’t stop eating after they’re full. Basically for people trying to lose weight or stop upset stomachs from fast eating.

    You know how to stop eating so much? Just put the fork down and stop eating. Having a machine tell you that you're eating too much is not just condescending, it's dehumanizing. Who would actively make a choice to have less choice?

    Ooooh! One teacher, somewhere in another state, teaching 30 plus classrooms? That could both create a better salary and solve some education problems. Just pay a tutor (say a teacher still in college but not quite at the teacher level yet) for the one on one time. 30 teachers salaries, even if we doubled how much the one makes and paid the tutors half of the original salary we save on the cost of 14 teachers. Just a thought....

    This one is cool tho. Those can be used to show kids some ancient cities on history lessons, forests and ocean floors on biology/geography etc. Also it would be harder for them to talk to each other and they would stay interested. It seems usefull for many educational things. Ofc it should be just a small part of their education. But who wouldn't like to be inside of Jurrasic Park with dinosaurs when teacher talks about Jura?!

How dare you judge the use of technology for the ability to show kids a world they may never see; the pyramids of Egypt, the frozen tundras of Russia, the penguins in Antarctica, Mayan ruins, the Atacama Desert. P**s off, and embrace the use of our advancements before judging and assuming it is LAZY teaching.
