Appliance Talk Vacuums & Floor Care

With the rate at which technology is taking over our lives, it’s just a matter of time before our household appliances become sentient and start tweeting about the mundane details of their lives.

“Easy Mac again?” your microwave will gripe via Facebook. “Has she no self respect? My defrosting capabilities are wasted in the household, I tell you. Wasted!”

Meanwhile, your dryer will be airing more than just your dirty linen: “If I have to look at those purple Garfield underpants with the holes in the side which her Nan bought her for Christmas six years ago ONE MORE TIME, I swear I will set my lint filter on fire.”

And I hate to think what my fridge thinks of me: “Let’s take an inventory, shall we? Hmm, six bottles of homebrew, two slices of week-old pizza, half a bottle of white wine, enough cheese to create a cauldron of fondue, one egg, a quarter of a lemon, some left-over Thai takeaway that’s been there so long it’s about to open a direct portal to hell, one tub of hokey pokey ice-cream with all the chocolate bits removed, six party pies and a close-to-empty bottle of vodka. There are better uses for my humidity-control settings, you know.”

Sound fun? Well thanks to good folks at TECHi.com, you can gain a horrible glimpse into the dystopian future that awaits us via a cute infographic! See what your vacuum cleaner has to say, and brace yourself for a life in which no detail, no matter how skull-numbingly banal, goes unrecorded:

NB: Resistance is, of course, futile. I for one welcome our new appliance overlords! I just hope that when they send me to toil in their sugar mines, they give me a cushy admin role. Because owing to the contents of my fridge, I’m clearly unfit for manual labour.
