Imagine having dirty, chicken-hands and having to operate your touchscreen smart fridge. Is that smart? No, it's juicy, gross, and unsanitary. This is the ideation of a tech idea from someone who's never used their kitchen, or an alien who just touched down to Earth and doesn't realize that the kitchen is a messy place.

Stop it with the apps! I don't have space on my phone and I don't want to have to download something in order to use my living room lamps. That's just terrible UI.

Shifting with every word, bite, and smile, lip filler is a strange plastic surgery trend that was never meant to last. I have many friends who have dabbled with a fill who almost immediately need to get it fixed. Not only are big lips heavy and cumbersome, but they're not a long-lasting beauty option. Just embrace your natural lip or get stung by a bee; you're better off rolling the dice with the bee venom.

11 Gimmicky Trends That Aren't Aging Gracefully: 'Touchscreens in cars'
CEO's are obsessed with gimmicks. Whether it's the shininess in their suits or the undeniable sparkle of every elevator pitch, it seems like the silliest ideas come to fruition at the C-level conference table. Unbeknownst to the folks who make decisions about things being produced, average consumers don't need half of the goofy "innovations" we see on the store's shelves. We don't need "Smart" technology in every single product. The long and short of it is quite simple. When people start to realize that a toaster doesn't need to have a touchscreen, society will be freed of the shackles of the latest CEO-coded tech gimmicks.
Like the uncomfortable and stinky jelly sandals of yore, there are a few trends in the 2020s that plague our consumer shelves. Not just online, but at the dealership, in Target, and taking over our phones, these are the top gimmicky trends that are aging like the finest 2% milk: Bad.
Bad ideas don't need to be molded into a pitch; they need to be thrown into the trash where they belong. Right next to the trends that we've already grown out of.
