Until I can operate my Samsung TV, Blu-Ray player, Amazon Fire TV Stick, and Cisco cable box with a single remote control, the Internet of Things is a hoax.

I can't be bothered to learn all the operation of most of my e-gear regardless of whether they can all be sync'ed together or not. It took me days to unravel how to harvest photos from my 5-year-old camera to my new laptop because the camera was set up with my old laptop. Had to email the company, call a friend to help me understand their arcane instructions, etc. Pain in the arse.
