Look at it this way..... what if an engineer designed a meter that needed no reading. (It's already 99% there, now) What happens to all the people employed reading meters?

oh the smart meters. don't worry, they don't save money. and heat and electronics aren't a good thing. often they go bad. we have digital meters here that aren't readeable after a few years.

the idea of a digital meter is to save the power company money by reducing those costs of production. the old dial last a lot longer but draw power from the plant to work. it takes power to read what Is used and its not in the cost to the consumer.

the health thing I don't see, I can see the hacking thing. but that is only if all your appliances are hooked to it. mine aren't. so they would only know what I used. big whoop, I can read mine now. all of them have that too. I think they should as I can just walk around to read it. it ensures that its "read" right. we tell customers to read their meter. I have done that with my water and electric meters. im not on the city grid.

btw, we are looking into doing that. I would still be needed for the water meters.
 
Look at the car....................... or refrigerators................. or just about anything, not too reliable at first, but now?
Give them a few years, and you see vast improvements in virtually everything. The point is, if what we design makes it necessary for people to be employed to keep it going... be very thankful. That changes.

Yeah, yeah. :angry3

It has it's advantages, though.
I say, "hey, Arch" in the grocery store and a small crowd gathers asking for autographs. And they look at my wife who is a short brownish-blonde and say, "and you must be Gloria".

I know that, however designing things to fail is that what you really want to claim? I know why they do that, it has something to do with an evil more vile species called bean counters.

spring hose clamps aren't for the consumer but to make it cheap for assembly and faster and the same with serpentine belts.
 
the car in question isn't that old nor has any car that I have worked on recently over two decades old.
