It's just part of the trend these days to control every single little aspect of our lives from our phones. No, I don't need to check my phone to make sure my bike tires are aired up. No, I don't need a smart fridge to tell me the milk is going bad. No, I don't need to check my phone to see how much water my toilet just flushed. I have a smart watch but I really don't care how many steps it says I took every day or how much sleep I've gotten the night before. Nor do I really need to check my heart rate. If my smart watch ever dies on me I'll probably just go back to a regular wristwatch. At least I can see what time it says in bright sunlight.
