Okay. Today, I would like to tell you about a rice cooker, which is a piece of technology that I find difficult to use and operate. While it is a Korean product and my mom bought it 2 years ago, I have to use it every day to cook rice. This versatile appliance includes diverse functions such as cooking rice, porridge, and so on. The complexity comes from the number of buttons, which is much more than the traditional one my family used in the past with only one operational button. Moreover, the Korean origin also makes it more challenging for me because I cannot understand the instructions written in Korean. In order to overcome the language barrier, I even had to print a translated version of its instructions. Despite that, I still had some issues when using this technology in the past. At one time, I chose the wrong cooking setting for porridge, leading to overcooked and mushy rice. So my mom had to fix it in order for my family to have dinner on time. Over time, I have become much more familiar with these functionalities. However, to be honest, my family has never used any other functions of this technology, so I feel it is quite useless and unnecessary to have such a complicated appliance in my house.
