In Defense of Kitchen Gadgets - Megan McArdle - Life - The Atlantic

In Defense of Kitchen Gadgets - Megan McArdle - Life - The Atlantic: "After all, the new gadget represents hours, maybe years, of human ingenuity applied to the problem of making repetitive tasks easier, faster, safer, or more convenient. Which basically sums up 90% of human progress since the industrial revolution, so don't give it short shrift. We should enjoy these things--their sleek design, their nifty features. I love machines of all types, from welding robots to 50-foot cranes, and when they are specially designed for my favorite room of the house, I love them even more."
