RT Lesley Carhart ‏@hacks4pancakes:

Think of the "internet of things" as letting 100 strangers walk through your home or work every day to press buttons on all your appliances.

I found that I've actually bought more X-10 things in the past year than I had in all of the previous 12 of owning this house. I decided I wanted to get things that didn't talk to "the outside world" while still giving me some benefits, and I figure X-10 is bad enough that it'll be replaced by some IoT thing soon, so I'd better buy spares now.

I've been watching the amount of chatter of a few things in my house. It's impressive . We specifically don't have connected "appliances" on purpose. Our other devices are plentiful and bad enough.
