Unfortunately, it's very real . Part of the new trend "the internet of things". One of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard of ! Just because something can be done doesn't make it a good idea !

If you think a refrigerator connected to the internet is bad, how about your toothbrush ?! Yes you heard me right ! There are toothbrushes that monitor when and how long you brush your teeth and can send the info to your phone and/or your dentist. I can just see insurance companies giving a "discount" (read surcharge if you don't use one) on dental insurance for letting your dentist keep track of how you brush your teeth. I s**t you not !---mike singularityhub.com/2014/01/21/the-humble-toothbrush-gets-an-internet-makeover/ |

Smart electric meters really p me off,but we couldnt beat em here,take it or no power,no power,NO HOUSE FOR YOU!  |
