Tools really recapitulate and amplify the values and context of the culture that creates them. For example, the best rice cookers usually have reviews that say, "this one quickly and quietly cooked the rice perfectly without any fuss, and then played a nice tune to let you know it was done!" And the best toasters say, "It's possible not to burn the toast if you unplug it at the exact right time, you just need to turn off all the smart settings."
