The problem with the Internet of Things is all the shit connected to it that just doesn't need to be connected to it. It's not progress, it's just a marketing opportunity in disguise.

I see it as a new level of surveillance. Just imagine, hundreds of devices all capable of uploading data to the internet. A crime scene where they can tell where a person walked around a room by when a person was detected.

Our printers now wake up when someone stands in front of them. They can detect user identity from our work pass. Just add internet!
