I think you've just become fatigued with technology, it's evolving pretty rapidly, and the aim of technology is to make lives easier.
I don't think anything you pointed out was necessarily bad, but rather an example of an ecosystem of connected devices starting to come to fruition. Short term it may look gimmicky and maybe even useless, but I'm sure the Internet of 1999 also looked gimmicky and useless by today's standards (Blinking text, geocities, etc..) but on the backs of those small annoyances, came the internet of today.
My point is, it's merely one of many evolutionary phases that technology will go through, and ultimately the goal is to enrich lives and ease burdens.
