   You know what I miss from the 80s? Regular old non-special-needs taps. Where you turn it a little, and only a little bit of water comes out.

     We didn’t know what we had.

     @Sophistifunk I miss the days when you could just pick up a flashlight, push a button (or slider), and it’s on. Push it again, and it’s off. Even the lowly flashlight is bent on ensuring that technology does not in fact make my life any easier.

     @Sophistifunk yep. Hate those safe and modern single handle valves. And you'd have to open up the whole wall to replace the valve body to have two valves. It's an evil lock in.

     When we updated our master bathroom, my wife found a replacement valve which gives you separate flow and temperature control for our tub. Now we can have a slow trickle of water to maintain the temperature while we soak our old bones.

     65 year old normal separate taps still work fine in my house.

     My friends have internet controlled lighting in their home. On new years eve, half the people at the party could not work out how to turn the light on in the toilet.
