> A company producing washing machine is empowering users. Period.

If that is your definition of empowering, so is a company that produces toilet paper.

Nope they are other way around cleaning one's bottom than toilet paper. They are nothing more empowering than a washing machine to clean-up clothes.

Please watch the video because I guess from you answer that you haven't...

Beside my point was just that you choose a particularly bad exemple this is not a thread about washing machine vs smart clothes... (even though washing machine probably win against jacquard which is not water proof)
