Obviously, you can press the switch, but the so-called "smart kettle" launched on the market has to open the phone to find an APP for a long time to operate; A smart refrigerator with a big screen that can play dramas has also been tortured by netizens' souls: "I just want to get an egg. You want me to chase dramas?" In the era of Internet consumption, some smart home products are frequently delayed, crashed, and even executed wrong instructions, which makes consumers very headache. (According to1October 7 Economic Daily 10)
A simple question: Why buy a kettle? Not just to boil water to drink? So what characteristics should a good kettle have? Of course, it is safe, boiling water is fast, heat preservation time is long, and it is easy to clean. The better you do these points, the better your kettle will be. If a kettle needs to be started, you need to find a mobile phone, connect to the Internet and click an APP to start boiling water, then no matter how smart it is, it is not an excellent kettle. For those who are not good at using smart phones, it is unfriendly, even for those who often use mobile phones, it is very troublesome, and remote operation of electrical appliances may also cause fires and make people feel insecure. It can be said that this kind of intelligent function, except that it looks like a "high-tech" model, has little practical effect. It is really superfluous and unnecessary.
Consumers, manufacturers and sellers certainly understand such a simple truth, but why are there so many brands flocking to it? Because this so-called intelligent function is actually very elementary, but it is particularly beautiful and sounds extremely high, and natural prices can also rise accordingly. A refrigerator that can put TV plays may not keep food fresh for a while, but it will definitely be more expensive than an ordinary refrigerator. Some consumers bought such a smart refrigerator out of curiosity and fashion mentality, but found that there was no need to squat in front of the refrigerator to catch up with the drama. Therefore, the seller is redundant and the buyer does not understand.
Actually, being smart is a good thing. In the past ten years, it is intelligence that has greatly changed our lives. Mobile payment, secure skynet, social media, voice assistant, etc. Undoubtedly, it has brought us a lot of convenience, and it has also brewed rich and beautiful expectations. At present, these so-called "smart homes" are actually spit out because they are not smart enough. In short, they are "too low IQ". For example, a smart refrigerator that claims to have an intelligent food management system but cannot automatically identify food and requires users to manually input information; For example, a smart water cup that claims to monitor the water quality, strictly set the drinking time, and will give a reminder whether the drinker is convenient or not ... looks smart, but it is actually very mechanical, completely ignoring the life and usage habits of consumers. Smart products like this are not only limited in intelligence, but also regard consumers as "mentally retarded" who can't take care of themselves. How can they not make people sigh?
Who doesn't yearn for intelligent life? The description of intelligent life in science fiction movies and novels makes people fully feel the grandeur and gentleness of science and technology. All the lights in your home can be automatically adjusted to your favorite brightness according to your habits, the indoor temperature can be kept at your most comfortable level, audio-visual equipment can understand and automatically play your favorite movies, and robots can clean your home spotless every day. However, these beautiful scenes are still in imagination, because there are still many problems to be solved. For example, energy problems, scene adaptation problems and popularization problems, if most people want to enjoy such an intelligent life, they still need further development of science and technology and further improvement of social and economic level. In short, dreams can exist, but they still need to be down to earth.
The first step to be down-to-earth is to really make some smart, friendly products that put themselves in the consumer's shoes, instead of playing tricks and ruining the good reputation of the word "smart".
