# Smart
The adjective "smart", as in e.g. *smartphone*, is in the context of [modern](modern.md) technology used as a euphemism for malicious features that include [spyware](spyware.md), [bloat](bloat.md), [DRM](drm.md), ads, programmed [planned obsolescence](planned_obsolescence.md), unnecessary [dependencies](dependency.md) (such as required Internet connection) and others. "Smart" technology is far inferior to traditional technology and usually just downright harmful to its users and society as a whole, but normal (i.e. retarded) people think it's good because it has a nice name, so they buy and support such technology.
