IoT (Score: 0) by Anonymous Coward on 2016-01-27 21:55 (#122B2) If this catches on, how long until all devices come with an internet wifi connectivity option.... the chips are getting cheaper Re: IoT (Score: 0) by Anonymous Coward on 2016-01-28 17:51 (#125GD) It's not going to catch on because it's not acually useful. It's a fad that will be too much effort to keep doing after the cool wears off; just like sticking to a diet or budgeting your money.

Chips which can seek out and connect to unprotected public networks to upload data. Kind of scary really. Think about it. You buy a toaster and it uploads how much toast you make, the bread weigh, size of the bread and at what times you toasted to the internet. I wonder if they'll do that for vibrators..
