Some day, you too, may be able to afford such a place!  Maybe before you have
to trade your home's equity (plus a bit?) to gain admission to a retirement
home (and your life savings to pay your rent, while there).

I prefer for technology to address all these mundane things -- for the same
reason I have an alarm clock instead of relying on a rooster to wake me
(roosters are only applicable if you want to be awakened at sunrise; alarm
clocks are more customizable!)

You must have an old (or cheap) car.  Most modern cars "talk" to their
makers.  I can "get help" or ask for specific directions to a location
not present in my GPS's database by simply pushing a button.

I suspect electric vehicles are even bigger "tattlers" -- esp with their
software update needs...
