I know this is in the context of &quot;consumers&quot;, but is that how most people see Internet of Things? I thought IoT was more of a name for business applications, or the trend in general, rather than the category of device. I thought that &quot;smart (appliance)&quot; was how the devices are sold to &quot;consumers&quot;, and that Internet of Things referred to a trend that mostly means businesses using internet-connected devices to simplify IT and get information about assets. In that context, it doesn&#x27;t seem like people are afraid as they are just skeptical and curious about what value it could provide. It is a strange future indeed if fridges that enforce thought crime fall into the same category of technology as a plant floor weight sensor. At that point, they just become &quot;things&quot; again.
