>Bringing any kind of technology into these sacred spaces saves time, but it can also alienate us from the labor of caring for those we love. Maybe this is why so many people don’t trust, don’t use, or want to command their dishwashers. “The strong opinions associated with how to do it could be people trying to retain some semblance of control in a world where technological devices are doing things so much for us,” Janning said of the dishwasher. “I do wonder if there’s a little bit of fear of losing the humanity associated with our domestic lives.”

If you want to observe the world as a pro-dishwasher person does, replace the word 'dishwasher' above with 'toilet'. We see dishwashers as objects that serve us so well, that the alternative choice is fairly disgusting by modern standards.
