I can no longer remember who gets the credit for this observation, but

The modern West is supported by magical slaves--ifrits we summon with the flick of a switch or turning a key in a car's ignition. The poorest of us can have his strength magnified by cheap power.

[marycatelli]

In various forms, many have noticed. The ifrits, however, are uncommon.

[jbellinger]

If you have ever tried to rewire a garage door opener into an outlet that, unbeknownst to you, has sockets fed from 2 different breakers, you will believe in electrical ifrits.

[marycatelli]

I'll try to avoid that, then.

Interesting, though the random fat hate halfway through made me cringe. Thanks for the link!
