(81,179 posts)Im one of those who hates having to compute my lights on. What the hell is wrong with simply flicking a switch? UP for on. DOWN for off. Boom! Done.
I do NOT want to have to fuss with a lot of choices and variables. I do NOT want to be dependent on a lot of gadgets. I dont give a rats ass how many degrees of brightness or mood lighting or whatever molecularly slight variations of color it is. Fuck it! Turn it ON. Or turn it OFF. Period!
My husband is gadget-obsessed. I guess the one drawback for him is having to deal with a Luddite every day. Heaven to him is either everything set up on voice-command or thousands of buttons and touch pads with hundreds of thousands of options and choices and degrees of variation. But if I had to live in his idea of a modern home, Id have a house I couldnt live in, because I wouldnt be able to make anything work.
