In particular, I've been thinking about home automation, and realizing that my main barrier to new technologies in our house is the installation and maintenance costs. This got me to thinking about all the cases where computing isn't applicable not because of the $50 cost, but because it won't last long enough to recoup the installation costs.
So expanding on your 50 years comment: Yes, and the device will only last two.

I know this math: $100 for a device, $500 per installation. $1 per month takes 50 years. That kind of math.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
