I also have zero interest and would also be alarmed to have a bunch of transmitters and protocols and services running, possibly invisibly, in my home.<p>However, I am not particularly worried and that is because there will always be industrial&#x2F;commercial models.  I know this because it is the case with flat panel displays.<p>We are certainly well over the transition to &quot;smart&quot; TVs and all of their accompanying features - you probably can&#x27;t buy a single display at Best Buy that isn&#x27;t &quot;smart&quot;.  However, you can also buy an <i>extremely well built</i>, completely dumb &quot;signage display&quot; (like those thin-bezel NEC models you see airports use for departure&#x2F;arrival boards, or what video walls are made of).<p>They aren&#x27;t even much more expensive, since the buyers (airports and shopping malls) need economies of scale when they are buying 200 of them at a time.  They last longer, are more rugged ... and are completely dumb.<p>The same is true with commercial refrigerators and ranges, etc. - pro cooks in a kitchen can&#x27;t be dealing with the wifi or the facebook integration.<p>I am very optimistic that this will always be the case and that &quot;dumb&quot; models will be available to smart people for a small premium.<p>It&#x27;s <i>also</i> easy to predict that lack of smart features (and screens and lights and boopity-beeps) will be a subtle class distinction.  When everyone in the trailer park has a flat panel on their refrigerator, you&#x27;ll see them disappear from the highest end models.
