Completely agree, though I&#x27;d love to see the actual questions asked, as I would be shocked if near 50% of consumers ranked security as a concern without prompting.<p>Personally, my waning interest in IoT devices is due mostly to lack of increased utility.  A new fridge that displays my Google Calendar doesn&#x27;t really offer me much additional value, at the cost of adding another failure mode to the device.  Having had several newer appliances with failed touch-pads or electronic modules, I&#x27;m loath to buy a device that has <i>even more</i> fancy electronics.<p>As for phones and tablets, I feel like I&#x27;ve reached the point where new iterations don&#x27;t offer much additional value.  Roughly equivalent to how I felt about PCs&#x2F;laptops 7-8 years ago. Battery life isn&#x27;t getting better (without going large), screen resolutions are great, cameras are great, and the devices are fast enough for the apps I use most (email, calendar, phone, camera, Flickr, and Kindle).
