MODERATORS
I don't understand the craze of slapping wifi or bluetooth connectivity to everything without giving proper thought. Cameras, television, vehicles, coffee pots, medical devices, laundry machines, hipster juicers... what's next? Is my salt shaker going to have it?
And the bad part is that it is being forced upon us. You can't even find non-smart TVs to buy anymore.
I wouldn't be surprised if appliances come with their own data plan, because the data they collect is valuable.
