Here’s a fun look at some of the most ridiculous smart gadgets that prove we’re clearly living in the future—and maybe it’s not as great as we thought!
1- Smart Pill Bottle

Can’t you just set an alarm on your phone? Or, you know, remember?
2- Smart Sneakers
These shoes track your every step, because you definitely need your kicks judging your fitness level.
Just what I wanted: a pair of shoes that adds guilt to my stroll to the fridge!
3- Smart Yoga Mat
A yoga mat that critiques your poses? Perfect!
Because who wouldn’t want a judgmental piece of foam reminding them they’re not as flexible as they used to be?
4- Smart Mirror with Skincare Analysis
A mirror that tells you what products to use?
If only it could also apply them and help me remember to wash my face instead of scrolling through social media!
5- Smart Coffee Maker
You can brew coffee from your phone! Because it’s just so difficult to push a button in the morning.
Nothing like a cup of “I’m still half-asleep, please leave me alone.”

A mattress that adjusts its firmness based on how well you sleep? Fantastic!
Because nothing beats waking up confused and wondering why your bed is now a rock.

A hairbrush that gives feedback on your technique.

This high-tech bottle tells you when to hydrate.
Because it’s not like your body could just give you a nudge when it’s thirsty. Who needs instincts?
11- Smart Refrigerator
A fridge that tells you when you’re low on milk? Why check when you can let technology take away your basic life skills?
A fridge that can talk and send you hints about your weight is not a smart gadgets especially if you are over 90 kg, at least it should guess your reaction to that.
12- Smart Trash Can That Open when You are close!
A trash can that opens automatically? How clever! Because lifting the lid might be just too much of a workout after a long day.
13- Smart Umbrella:
An umbrella that alerts you when it’s going to rain.
What a time-saver! I mean, who needs a weather app when you can hold a gadget that sings to you about precipitation?

Why Do We Need to Complicate Our Lives?
In a world filled with such ridiculousness, we’re clearly on a mission to make our lives as complicated as possible.
We’re trading simplicity for complexity, and let’s be honest—it’s exhausting! Do we really need to check our hydration levels through an app? Can’t we just listen to our bodies?
The truth is, we’ve been sold on the idea that smart equals better. But sometimes, the best tech is the one that lets us just live our lives—minus the gadgets that think they know us better than we know ourselves!
So the next time you find yourself drooling over the latest “smart” gadget, remember: sometimes the simplest solutions are the best!
