    I Read the article/Items and most older folks have the monitors, wouldn’t have the smart-home on a bet, or the voice assistant on a demand, the led bulbs go without saying since they are almost mandatory now and then it dawned on me ! this article was written by Children of the CITY, for Children who have not seen their parents in decades, really do NOT care, and are making an advertising dollar from gaggle, amazoo, or an insurance company, Greed powered this article and concern was not in the fabric,…. Harsh appraisee ? possibly but being almost 70 I see nothing of value in in a voice assistant, except government eves dropping, Nothing of Value in a smart-home system, except government intervention and monitoring, adjustable furniture ? sunlight lamps? maybe you can get the stores to carry ” bright- daylight ” (6500-6700 kelvin) spectrum bulbs and quality brands, we could all use a short sturdy stepladder ( we still have to change those bulbs) a supply of long-term storage foods would be better (no not survival rations they are made for children who can still tolerate high sodium and Tight bowels ) But canned goods to make easy meals, ( all the varieties of Beans, Corn, Tomato sauces/and stewed, fruits, peanut butter and jelly, saltines, Aunt Jemima batter mix a, a stash of butter in the fridge, and extra syrup in the pantry, supply of dried foods to last three months (winter) beans/Rice/spaghetti/flour/Salt,pepper/sugar/baking soda, baking powder/ a ham and a turkey in the freezer, a loaf of bread in the freezer,
    and plenty of gas in the tank for heat, fuel in the car, for trips when the weather permits, A MANUAL can opener, at least six rechargeable lights, (flashlights, lanterns) a gallon of coal-oil for hurricane lamps, spare ammo for rifles/shotguns/handguns, and a rechargeable NOAA radio ( Not a Hurdy-Gurdy Type, we cant crank them ) That can pick-up broadcast Stations as well
