This is a stupid idea. I don&#x27;t want a million &quot;smart&quot; devices in my house with crappy unreliable software running on them. Either they&#x27;ll all be un-updateable with bugs and vulnerabilities lasting forever, or they&#x27;ll constantly be pestering me for software updates that change their functionality and behavior, and I don&#x27;t know which is worse.<p>In the future I want <i>fewer</i> smart devices than I have now. I want to replace all my smart devices with one robot servant. Why have an internet-connected doorknob or light switch or thermostat, with all the reliability and security concerns that come with that, when my robot servant can unlock the door and turn on the lights and heat when I get home? Why have ambient screens and displays on every surface shouting information at me constantly when my robot servant can just tell me relevant information when I need to know it? Why have a dishwasher when my robot servant can &quot;hand&quot; wash the dishes? Etc.
