I once told my refrigerator to fax me some halibut. At least I think that's what I told it.

This could be written into thrillers!

I wonder if my smart thermostat could be exploited in such a fashion.

I expect to read some day that an online refrigerator accidently launched ICBMs at Russia.

Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
‘cause my Momma took away my smartphone

My fridge tweets:

• SOS
• Pennicillin is now ready in the 4 containers in the back of the third shelf.
• Biohazard alert
• This is how the Stand starts.

I’m with you, bgill.

What a lot of FReepers don’t realize:

1. If mom has gone to this extreme you can bet your bottom dollar there is a heck of a good reason for it.

2. This girl is being encouraged to break her mother’s authority for what...? Comments out to folks who really don’t give a da** about her.

3. This girl is being taught by folks that it’s perfectly fine to break authority’s instructions. Any FReepers been burgled/raped/assaulted? Guess what those folks didn’t start out big, they started out small, like this miscreant.

4. Unless she’s corrected early, the Lord help her future employers and you do know, don’t you, SHE COULD BE ANOTHER HILLARY.... in the making.

Idiots. And more idiots.

The only wi-fi enabled device I have is my basement sump pump.

It sends stats on duty cycles, main and backup pump functionality, and backup battery health.

Yeah, there's a push to put technology in places it doesn't belong.

I never had OnStar or any of those things on my vehicle. At some point, someone will figure out they can disable the vehicle if you're behind on payments.

During the last Google outage, a lot of people who had gone to "smart locks" couldn't get into their houses.

[Black Agnes]

Yours is the best post.

[trisham]

No kidding. She’s a brat.

[MomwithHope]

Good for mom!

[ConservativeWarrior]

Agree. There are a few very useful applications for IoT technology. The rest are useless at best, and harmful to your health and privacy at worst.

I have seen tech hell. My smart terlit sends its results to my smart fridge, which wipes out my shopping list and sends one of its own to my grocery store, delivered by their drones. I come home to a fridge with no beer and full of green leafy vegetables. I hear the doors and windows all lock shut. In the background my smart exercise bike whizzes menacingly. There is no escape.

So LG the company tweeted to “free Dorothy”.

We have reached to point where a company is encouraging a teen to disobey her parents.
