I love smart home technology, but I don’t want a smart toilet that talks to me or includes a “fully immersive experience.” In the same way, manufacturers need to ensure that adding Amazon’s Alexa or Google’s Assistant or Apple’s Siri to their product makes sense.
Case in point: Citizen’s new “smart clocks.”
The problem?
They don’t do anything normal clocks already do, or anything that you can already do with an Amazon Echo or a Google Home. Or, for that matter, an everyday smartphone.
