15 Things in Your Home That Are About to Become Obsolete

[tulipsandroses]

10. I've already made many of those things obsolete in my home

I have not had a line line in - jeez I can't even remember when. Many years.

I use LED light bulbs

I have multifunctional cookers. I rarely use my stove or oven.
I have a ninja foodie grill - works as an air fryer, it has a baking and roasting function.

I have a ninja foodie pressure cooker - it has air fryer function.

I think the only thing I use the stove for is making breakfast. Things like eggs and for boiling pasta. And actually, I sometimes throw that in the pressure cooker.

I have a printer, but I lost the cord when I moved last year. Have not replaced it. Don't plan to. I like the fact that many stores now offer email receipts. No more lost receipts if I need to return something.

I have a wireless charger

I don't have an alarm clock. I use my phone for alarm. I also have Alexa - I have used that for an alarm as well. Great for setting alarms for the future. I don't have to write down appts or things I have to get done in the future. My Alexa alarm reminds me when its time.

I have not had a DVD or CD player in years. I have a smart tv and streaming service.

Stereo, don't have one. I store music on my phone which I can listen to through Alexa or blue tooth speaker.

The remote - I bought a voice controlled remote for my guest bedroom when I lost the original remote for that tv. I am guessing that tvs of the future may have voice control built in?

I know I can also program Alexa to do this. My son has an app on his phone that changes the channel.

I have not gotten new checks in years. I still have some left over from the last set of checks I received.

I have had cordless vacuums - even the Roomba in the past. They have not performed to my liking. I hope the technology has improved. I do like that vacuums are smaller and lighter and still powerful. I can easily take mine upstairs.

TVs. I still have a tv in the living room and guest room. I don't have one in my bedroom anymore. I use my laptop when I want to watch tv in my bedroom. I love that I can watch live tv from anywhere in the house. Bathroom, or kitchen. Lol!

I'm not sold on the smart lock yet. Just as I am not sold yet on keyless entry cars. I worry about hacking.

And on that note. I live in a gated apartment complex. I have a remote that opens the gate. I give the remote to guests that are visiting so they can come and go. There is a separate entrance to the complex for visitors and deliveries. They use the callbox for entrance. I can use my phone to open that gate. My problem is for whatever reason, there have been times that the callbox is not working. I can't use the phone to open the gate if the durn callbox is not working. Hence I can't get into the complex! Then I think about what if I lose my phone? How do I get in? That's my other fear about smart locks. What if I lose my phone? How would I get in?
