I performed what is apparently called a 'shoryuken' by a colleague when I became incensed over the fire alarm screaming out over a fried egg I had allowed to smoke. Pulling little bits of beige plastic out of my knuckles gave me a moment of reflection to consider how technology can improve and disrupt our lives.

For the 20 dollars a regular smoke detector costs, I believe they should already have a large button you can press on the side that indicates "I promise everything is fine, I am in the house, alert, and am about to cause an issue. Please unconditionally do not beep for the next 30 minutes." That would replace everything good about this wifi gizmo.
