Now you can’t even change a light bulb without having to download an app and connect the bulb to WiFi and Bluetooth.

Did they stand up in the aisle as soon as the unbuckle seatbelt light came on?

Pretty much every light bulb that resides in a lamp in my house is a smart bulb. The ability to dim a lamp is a game changer. Most of the time, I don't control them with an app, but a smart assistant.

I hated every part of this paragraph

In a new world of huge dorks the smart bulb people might be the dorkiest

Ridiculous that there’s such a thing. And this is why data centers are springing up. The human species has become lazy and relies on apps for everything. God forbid if you have to get up to turn off a light. Remote does the same thing.

You're going to complain about people's lack of awareness because "they are glued to their phones", yet you can't take 2 seconds to read a box?

being an idiot and not paying attention to what you were buying is your fault buddy.

Then I won't tell you about my smart switches either. Not having to get out of bed to turn on the master bedroom celing fan is awesome.. .

I think that is code for leaving your house open so your wife can get railroaded by a group of Jody’s.
