The concept of a vacuum cleaner has become 'old' and so has the concept of a fridge, and so on .. my list goes on...
What I mean to say here is simple - simplify technology - as of today, technology doesn't create enough to 'create' but 'creates' to the acumen of the business man selling the technology not the 'creative' who really wants to unfold it to human advantage and make things simple.
'In short all the genius' have slowly turned into business men and minds with technology acumen have been limited to a few insane enthusiasts (this may be again my retarded & technologically enthusiastic thinking).
Alright, back to the topic - so what do I mean when I say using AI in every day routine tasks, let's start with a vacuum cleaner - we all know the 'roomba vacuum cleaner' - but this concept is more of a wastage of a smart vacuum as currently it has no logic to recognise the space it is vacuuming, the time it is vacuuming or the efficiency factor, no analytics and no knowledge of what pressure needs to be adjusted for the surface it is vacuuming, no knowledge graph and no talking back. Hence it's but a dumb machine of 21st century. Quite depleted in terms of technology - forget about it talking to any other device.
The same kind of features with fridge - the modern fridge should be able to adjust its shelves and de-shelf the products which have expired separate them and indicate to the user which items need to be thrown away and which items need to be bought. Oh no - I am not talking about another worthless 'notification' - costing me a second of my life, somebody just thought of notifications and like crazy everyone else started using it, so much so that with current routines - half the life - people can spend checking notifications like zombie's (which don't carry any benefit to their lives), so please - no more notifications which waste my time(as I am a mere mortal with counted time on earth). My fridge should be able to detect and start pushing waste to the waste bin, and this should be monitored so that if the waste is coming in more from external sources, it can balance the same. The sensors on the fridge should be capable of smell & detecting if there is an expired product which might affect other product & intelligently suggest the placement of products.
And what's happening with these so called 'automated' lights, cmon - it's not automated, it's just an extended switch controlled again by you - it was automated, if it could detect you were coming back precisely around some time and adjust the on and off of the light without the person interfering, same thing with the heating & cooling, the system should be sensible and should be cheap else no one gets benefited. Each electronic equipment should be able to talk to another and gather statistics to help ease the process, if half of my time goes controlling or giving instructions then I am not benefitting even a bit from it, instead I am the driver all the time, technology hasn't helped at all.
So how do we create the ecosystem to be more useful - next time when designing an ecosystem thinking of contexts, learning & trying not to build another app (really tough for me to understand how people manage so many apps) just a single simple interface to accomplish tasks easily.
Computer operating system is another area - which hasn't improved, till now my computer should have the ability to sort stuff out for me, simply arranging the items, doing an elegant backup, by itself, it's so old fashioned, we have to prompt it at every step. Sort my image files - that's it and it should present a view to the user - sorted, unsorted and ask us to choose(I hope you are not thinking about traditional sorting, I am talking sorting with contexts in mind, just like I would do it myself, I can train it if required), but no operating system does that - it's still amazes me sometimes as if we are living 21st century... the good thing ... lots of possibilities and innovation scope ... it's not even begun yet .. trust me.. long way to go.
