I'm not sure if it's because I'm getting older and my needs are changing, or if we've just reached a point where I feel like everything I could possibly need technology for in my day to day life is handled already with the devices I already own and all new advancements are of dubious use

Like nobody is making new ovens anymore, we're in the age of 8,000 single-use kitchen implements

how old is induction stovetop because companies are starting to release expensive induction hot-plate style things, but the cookware has to be capable of working on it.

Rice cookers are hardly high technology at this point. Anyway if you can boil water you can cook rice. A lack of light to work by is ur own dam fault
