There it is, half of those things absolutely terrify me, but they&#x27;re also exciting. But then that&#x27;s kinda the thing with new technology isn&#x27;t it? There was a time when trains were exciting and terrifying machines (and they probably still are).<p>Honestly, adveillance and order automation seem like they&#x27;ll be useful. And abused. People hacking into celebrity fridges, script kiddies ordering toner and other very shady things on the ORM side will inevitably happen.<p>I will however plead the Stallman on ownership-to-rent. DRM on Keurigs and usage timers on light bulbs just feel underhanded. So opposed to that. That&#x27;s an entirely different argument though.<p>Well, I kinda get consumer IoT now, but I&#x27;m still confused why people are going on about  it like it&#x27;s the best thing since sliced blue-tooth. Guess I&#x27;m not imaginative enough.
Guess I&#x27;ll be the old grumpy paranoid man at the end of the road that never showers and orders his own ink.
