But you plugged in that computer. Your electric company knows when and how much power you’re using. The phone company records every number coming and going. Your bank rats out your transactions. Your credit card sends out every transaction, too. Your grocery store tells who knows whom that you bought a carton of 12 count large eggs last week. Your doctor’s office tells the world you had some sort of funky rash last time you were in and the pharmacy blabbed what meds you picked up. And NSA has a record of a video images of you going through the drive thru for a glazed donut and cup of coffee. The library wouldn’t tell your wife what book you’d reserved but they have a record of everything you’ve ever checked out to be used against you when Big Brother comes knocking. Have you bought a new car in recent years or fell for that tracker to lower your insurance? And that email you sent out last week that mentioned your cousin died was spied on by someone because 5 seconds later you got an incoming email for burial insurance.

You forgot about the part where it’s a hot day in August and the smart thermostat reset itself to 85 degrees and the dishwasher is refusing to run until 10PM...

If only more than one smart bulb would turn on in the house.
