Toot

I was thinking of doing a poll but it's easier just asking the question

I've heard, and used, the term "dumb tv" re being the opposite of a smart one i.e. a dumb tv isn't connected to the internet

My questions are, does that apply more broadly?

For example, now there are fridges that are connected to the internet, are they called smart fridges? And does the opposite apply? Is one that isn't a dumb fridge?

Is an internet connection essential to something being labelled "smart"? e.g. is a bed that does all sorts of fancy things a "smart bed"? and consequently, is a normal bed a dumb bed?

I should get out more lol
