It amuses me that when my boom box is turned on with no CD in it, the digital display just reads, "No." If this is a smart appliance, I wonder if it'll shift my priorities subtly be replacing "No" with "Read." Or, if my cat, Collette, wants a seventh daily helping of food, maybe the display will read, "Give in."
We're in an age where devices increasingly sense and adjust to our needs. I'm ambivalent about that, at best.
