IOT will be added to anything and everything - you just won't be informed !
Sadly my title will be true, its a bit like trying to purchase a PC/Laptop which does not have the Trusted PC chip in it !
Did you request it, did you want it, Can you opt out of having it, but you did pay for it !
Same will go for home items, they will add them and not switch them on - hopefully !
People who request a smart device will be told - actually this is a smart device and you just need to do this to switch it on or you just need to do this to access it !
The first things that were supposed to be smart were TV's, now being an early adopter of Tech (Always the latest and greatest PC's - I built them my self !) when I was looking for a new Samsung 55" TV I was offered a Smart TV and I told him to take a hike !
I want a TV to be a TV, the only thing of possible smartness would be the ability to have a built in media player but most definitely no other smartness !
If I want an added feature of Netflix etc I would set up a media box depending on its requirements for added features would depend on what I purchased or built !
I certainly wouldn't want a smart fridge or cooker or central heating system or anything smart except me but sadly most people are sheep and will fall for the BS about smart stuff reducing leccy bills etc - final note - No way, no how would I ever want or allow a smart leccy meter in my house unless it had no wifi but had a utp network port so that I could monitor stuff then fine but they wouldn't like that because they want the data for themselves and not for you to be able to access it !
Which is weird because smart TV's were meant to give you a benefit whereas smart leccy meters don't and might adversely effect you either by effecting you due to the wifi itself !!!! or by actually effecting your home wifi signal itself !
So basically Smart IOT take a long f**king walk on a short f**king pier !!
