Tech giants bet on 'smart home' revolution

The smart home, smart phone and nearly every other smart technology had lots of promise. Then we were struck with the unwanted spying and tracking that is now attached to these devices by tech giants, governments and hackers.

I’m not so sure the internet attached smart home is all that appealing anymore. I’ll purchase my milk at the local grocery, adjust the temperature in my home myself, and lock my doors with a key. All without Google tracking when I come and go, then sharing that data with others. Or hackers stealing all this personal information from the central ‘cloud’ data stores like they have some major US retailers recently.

i think i let my home stay stupid for now.

Yeah Smart homes are not great. Smart TV's can be hacked untraceable via their antenna then onto your home network and into your computer. Yes the connected smart TV via wifi to your home network can be easily hacked with practically no security or firewalls on your TV. Not cool at all.

the fridge orders the milk

because you're too busy working just to afford all this junk?

Get off the hamster wheel, people. Money can't buy you love.

Money can't buy you love

No, but it can buy you a fridge that will order your milk for you.
