    That being said, IoT and cloudiness may have its use, but it seems more practical to keep IoT things on the private LAN and _not_ go into "the cloud". If your phone application needs to know what temperature your oven or refrigerator (or living room) is at, a 'peer to peer' method is PROBABLY a better solution. OK it would need a 'cloudy tracker' but NOT a 'cloudy service'.

    Cloud IS overrated for MOST things that I've seen. It has its uses. It is NOT "the ultimate solution".

    And, is all of their market hype part of a PLAN to monetize more of us 'end-users' ?

    keep in mind that any meteorologist will tell you, a cloud is nothing but a bunch of holes held together by vapor. Kind of like that proverbial screen door on a submarine.
