Hi,

I really cannot find any good reason why I would want to connect
any "T" to the "IO" be it a light bulb, door lock, fridge, heater,
TV, car, etc, besides being spied even more than it is already done
with my smartphone and PC.
In the future possessing a classic light bulb will be a sign of political
opposition, but anyway it will work only if the smart light bulb holder
allows it, if the smart wall switch recognizes your fingerprint or voice,
if the smart electric power meter thinks you have paid enough....
BTW the smart door lock don't lets me in today and the f...ing car
says it will not drive me autonomously to sea because the AI
thinks it is better that I go the the mall to enjoy the targeted
shopping experience.

"O tempora, o mores"
