    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?

      That’s a great idea! You can check your salt levels while at work or on vacation. You could even have your salt shaker automatically order more salt from Amazon when the level got too low. Or how about you program your maximum daily salt intake so it closes up when it’s reached.

      So much potential!

      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.
