Smart

The adjective "smart", as in e.g. smartphone, is in the context of modern technology used as a euphemism for malicious features that include spyware, bloat, DRM, ads, programmed planned obsolescence, unnecessary dependencies (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.
