    Seems like you gotta have your phone on you at all times because everything requires an app. Gotta use an app to control my TV. Gotta use an app to talk to my grankids. Gotta have an app to run the freezer. App. App. App. What they need to do is start building the damned apps into the appliances, that way you can just push some buttons or tap a screen right on the device to control it.

      But then they can’t steal your all encompassing data.

      Just wait until your toilet will have weight sensors inside the bowl, and will tweet out how much your shit weighs in realtime.

      You think I’m joking, but just watch. This world is getting real stupid. Cars used to come with a manual, that had a section on how to change your own oil and radiator fluid. Now cars come with a manual that has a disclaimer to warn that “auto pilot mode” is just a slightly more advanced version of cruise control, and still requires the driver to be awake and alart of the road as the driver. Regardless of if the speed is automated.
