比如说 你可以拥有一个 能在办公室里启动开关 的洗碗机和一个 知道什么时候牛奶喝光了 的电冰箱 下一页 上一页 2 但是听着 电器制造商们 我们不需要能在办公室里与之交流的洗碗机 如果你们想改进我们的洗碗机 那就发明出这样一个来 当人们把脏碗盆放在厨房桌子上时 它能感觉到 并且大叫 马上把碗放到洗碗机里去 不然我就把你的鞋弄湿 下一页 上一页 3 同样 我们不需要知道什么时候牛奶喝光的冰箱 我们已经有了确定这种情况的有效体制 我们可以去问自己的丈夫或妻子 真正改良的智能冰箱应当在察觉到在我们两个小时内吃第四块馅饼时 就不让我们开冰箱门了 下一页 上一页 4 这些新型 智能 家用电器正真让我烦心的是 即使我们喜欢这样的特别功能也不会使用 我们甚至连现在已有的功能都不会使 我有一部全功能电话机 有43个按键 其中至少与20个键我碰都不敢碰 我的电话机也许有与死人通话的功能 可我不知道如何操作 同样我也不知道如何操作我的电视机 因为它的某些功能需要两部遥控器来控制 其中一个遥控器 有44个按键 和电视机配套 还有一个 66个按键 和VCR 盒式磁带录放影机 配套 下一页 上一页 5 所以我想看电视的时候 我总共要面对110个按钮 上面还标有诸如PIP MTS DBS和JUMP这样有用的名称 虽然有两个开关键 可有的时候 特别是我儿子和他的朋友改变了设定之后 我连怎么开电视机都搞不懂 我站在那儿 拿着两只遥控器 漫无目标地按着按钮 直到最后不得不放弃 只好去开洗碗机洗碗 老实说 我已经有些年头没有录成电视节目了 瞧我的家用电器变得何等的 聪明 下一页 上一页 6 而现在电器制造商还想要给我们提供更多的特别功能 你知道这意味着什么吗 这意味着有一天晚上 你打开你的 智能 冰箱想找一瓶啤酒 而你将听到悦耳的录音在宣布 你的牛奶过期了 你会纳闷这事儿你的冰箱怎么会知道 更糟的是 你也不知道你的冰箱还要把这事告知谁 下一页 上一页 7 但是 要让冰箱住嘴 你得看完整整一本天书一样的说明书 8 亲爱的顾客 这时你想要的未来吗 你想要比你更聪明的家用电器吗 不 绝不 下一页 上一页 9 所以 我奉劝你快让电器制造商知道 你要对 智能 电器说 不 但你必须赶快采取行动 因为在你读这篇文章时 你的微波炉在说 是 下一页 上一页
