Being "an old guy" I agree. Just because we can have things like push button start on a car, a cloud connected thermostat, or light switches doesn't mean that's what we SHOULD do. In a lot of cases I'll take a plain old regular mechanical switch, or rotary knob. Worked fine for many years and the substitute isn't necessarily better.

I don't think we need the Feds telling us what light bulb to use either. I've tried a number of CFLs and have yet had even one that lasts the 7 years they profess. I can't say I've seen any savings in my power bill, they just keep raising the rates. That coupled with the mercury, I just don't see how this can be better than a plain old regular bulb. I stockpiled enough regular bulbs to last me quite a while at this point. Just another part of the global warming BS.
