> First, you bought that over-complicated appliance for the same reason everyone else does: it has more features, and you like features. Everyone wants features. If you want to sell an appliance today, you have to cram in more features, and do it more cheaply than the competition.

Is this true for all appliances?

The toaster and the refrigerator seem functionally complete to me.

More features = more problems = I don't want them for my toaster.
