Sorry, I forgot you had issues.

Please, no personal attacks in Discussion Club, save that for P&N.

The phrase “internet of things” has arisen to reflect the growing number of smart, connected products and highlight the new opportunities they can represent. Yet this phrase is not very helpful in understanding the phenomenon or its implications. The internet, whether involving people or things, is simply a mechanism for transmitting information. What makes smart, connected products fundamentally different is not the internet, but the changing nature of the “things.” It is the expanded capabilities of smart, connected products and the data they generate that are ushering in a new era of competition.

Whether I agree with it or not doesn't much matter.

Though, I did find the above HBR article interesting.

It wasn't a personal attack, it was an apology. I actually did forget the fellow doesn't see the world the way most other people do. He has clearly stated that in several different threads. That's why I dropped the issue without engaging him further, and offered an apology for taking him to task.

They can do Internet of Things all they want, but none of it means jack squat if you don't actually connect the device to your network.

No washer/dryer, fridge, toaster, oven, toilet, sink, light switch, aircondition, whatever will ever get my Wifi password. My smart TVs aren't even connected to online.

If the device refuses to work without internet, it goes right back to the store immediately. I love technology but it fails often enough that I will not tolerate it in a device that is supposed to work, and always has worked without the internet.
