It seems like we're all living life in the fast lane.

Do you find yourself trying to catch your breath?

It may feel like you're running a marathon, trying to keep up with the Joneses.

Much of our fast-paced society has to do with technology.

We can't go anywhere anymore without our gadgets,

all designed to make our lives easier and better. Alexa, order more dog food. Based on your order

history. From cell phones to artificial intelligence. My name is Watson. I am a cognitive system. I can

understand reason and learn with humans.

But is technology really making our lives easier or is it making it more hectic? You can't escape

from it, especially now that tech is heading into our homes and cars. Everything with the name smart

attached to it seems to be entering our lives from smart TVs and refrigerators.

They're smart ovens and stoves, smart locks, doorbells, and even smart beds, toilets, and of course,

smart toys. But what exactly makes them smart? And are they really worth the price?

I'm America's Digital Pro Kim Commando, and in this Commando

on-demand podcast, we are going to take a look at some of the unusual smart gadgets that we

I'm going to give you the information that you need to decide if they're really worth spending
