Electrofauna

The washer turns on by itself, shakes and sways side to side; the blender lashes, its circuits have become excited; the coffee maker growls at everyone, and won’t allow anyone to use it.
Overflowing instincts and self-reliance seem to indicate that in the future appliances will become our new animals.
