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..
