DailyPrompt—2137
What technology would you be better off without, why?
This one actually made me pause… because we live in a world where everything is becoming “smart” — smart houses, smart fridges, smart doors, smart lightbulbs that can’t decide if they want to be blue or warm white unless you whisper the right command, lol.
And honestly?
I don’t want any of it.
Living here on the islands has taught me something precious:
Simplicity is underrated.
We live mostly on solar power, with a generator as backup. The sun decides the rhythm of our home more than any app ever could — and I actually love that. It keeps us present, grounded, and aware of the energy we use.
Smart houses might impress people, but they don’t impress me.
Why let a machine control everything when we have a mind, intuition, and common sense of our own?
Maybe that makes me old-fashioned — but at least I’m connected to my environment, not controlled by it.
And now for the fun part…
PS:
My daughters learned very quickly that you absolutely cannot play PlayStation after 6 p.m. on solar power.
If you try?
Instant blackout.
No electricity.
Game over — literally.
We still laugh about it.
Island life teaches you things no “smart home” ever will 😂☀️
