> That being said, electronics in our devices do tend to reduce the amount of water and power that appliances use. Dumb devices are extremely inefficient, even though there are fewer points of failure.
I fail to see how electronics in these (unpowered) devices in any way reduce the amount of power that they use.
In theory you could have a system that monitors input and then uses a precise amount of water to vacate the bowl.
Oh sick, a toilet with bowl cameras
I think that was just a general statement regarding old devices, since they brought up a 1950s refrigerator as an example of a powered "dumb" device
Sprinklers and all kinds of stuff are more efficient with sensors and electronic regulators
