I’m busy laughing, and happy to be a semi-dinosaur on the technological front. The only thing I want wi-fi on is my computer and tablet. That’s it.
I'll block you if I see tweets from your dryer. @internetofshit pic.twitter.com/gxbSRW6fFw

The Internet of Shit. Have fun!
If only TweetPee had been available 30 years ago, I could bringing up all the notifications on the internet for when my kids wet their diaper. The opportunities for embarrassing their dates would have been amazing.
PZ:
Ha! So this will be the new naked baby on a bearskin rug photo?
I tend to glaze my way past diaper related stuff, so I just now took a closer look at that tweet pee ad, where it says “The first diaper to tell mommy when it’s time to change.”
Looks like daddy isn’t supposed to use them.
We are closer to the end than to the beginning.
How much fossil fuel is being burned to power all this stuff as it sits there doing, bar a few seconds of internet-activity, nothing? A microwatt here, a microwatt there…
I was fine, just snickering, until I got to this, which brought out the belly laughs because it made me think of Two Monks (invent facial recognition software).
.. then I learned that people can hack your accounts through your wifi toaster? EGAD. Do not want.
Ugh, borktags alert. Sorry.
yep. My wife is into internet security, and is always reminding me that these wifi connected appliances are some of the least secure devices on the planet. Some could actually hack into your toaster pretty easily and possibly burn your house down. Look ma, we’ve moved arson to the internet!!

The purpose of this wifi connection is…?
Anyone who’s read the right kind of science fiction KNOWS this is a bad idea. It’s just a short step from internet connection to full-out machine intelligence, and then it’s good bye, humanity!
