Smart phone glitch leaves pets hungry

[Catherine]

Apparently there is a `smart` feeder that can feed your pet when you are out. It is connected to the smart phone technology.
When it failed pets were left without food for 10 hours.

People were told to feed their pets manually. They had to be told. How sad is that.

Do we really need a smart machine that feeds our pets. Should you ever rely on such a thing.
