It may sound a little spoiled, but it's true. Aesthetics are important for everything from products to packaging.

They've all found work.

Back when I was younger, there was always a telltale sign that people in my neighborhood had gone on vacation. If they didn't have a lawn care company watching over their yard, we would notice brown patches dot their yard. Depending on how long they were away, the entire lawn could die out.

Is it starting to feel like there's a smart version of every device out there? It might make the perceived value of each individual smart device seem a little less impressive, but smart locks are something I'd argue for. They're incredibly helpful and make day-to-day life a little bit easier.

So I recently received a gift from my significant other that was both a blessing and a curse—the Apple Watch. I've been a watch-wearer since my youth, but I have always preferred an analog watch to anything digital. So you could only imagine my hesitancy in getting a smart watch.
