We STILL don’t have many appliances and other devices that change the time at daylight savings time or (in many cases) reset themselves after a power failure. This will be far from universal, and is likely to make more hassle than it resolves.

“The Internet of Things” seems a little stodgy. We need a new, catchy name.

How about...”The Matrix”?

I’m in this space. We’re 20 years away from mass adoption. But fun to think about.
