I don’t know if this count isn’t technological advancement but I would say dishwasher because this thing doesn’t work how it’s supposed to be. Like a dishwasher is supposed to make your job easier like a washing machine but if I am the one who’s putting all the salt, who’s doing all the cleaning then what is this dish was supposed to do like it was supposed to clean all the duds and make the dishes really clean as we do with our hand but I feel like the opposite is going on I’m struggling a lot I like I took as many technologies as I could from my mom so that it makes my job easier but this dishwasher This dishwasher is not making my life any way easier. One day I was trying to put my used dishes in a dishwasher and they were like, I’m supposed to take everything out and clean it so that it just washes. So like what’s it supposed to do? So I think paper overestimated it. it needs to be fixed to a better responsive task. I would say it doesn’t have the quality to what quality to do what it’s made to do. So I would say rather than expecting it to do things that you haven’t thought it to do or these are made for you should make something that’s usually used for people to make your job easier like making a dishwasher that would clean the use plate all it by myself not like I don’t have to be a one to all the works to do all the efforts to make the plates clean if that’s the thing then why do I need the dishwasher right so I think that’s why people like overestimated it and I think making a better dishwasher would be a better alternatives because washing the plates with our hand is like back to square one.

I don't know if this counts as a technological advancement, but I would say a dishwasher because this thing doesn't work how it's supposed to. A dishwasher is supposed to make your job easier, like a washing machine, but if I am the one who's putting all the salt and doing all the cleaning, then what is this dishwasher supposed to do? It was supposed to clean all the dishes and make them really clean, as we do with our hands, but I feel like the opposite is going on. I'm struggling a lot. I took as many technologies as I could from my mom so that it makes my job easier, but this dishwasher is not making my life any easier. One day, I was trying to put my used dishes in the dishwasher, and I was supposed to take everything out and clean it so that it just washes. So what's it supposed to do? I think people overestimate it. It needs to be fixed to perform its intended task better. I would say it doesn't have the quality to do what it's made to do. Rather than expecting it to do things that you haven't thought it could do, it should be made to actually help people. We need a dishwasher that would clean the used plates all by itself, not one where I have to do all the work to make the plates clean. If that's the case, then why do I need the dishwasher? That's why I think people overestimate it. I believe making a better dishwasher would be a better alternative because washing the plates by hand feels like going back to square one.
