I pity the people who use smartphones, hooked-up to Alexa or one of Google’s voice command bots, hooked-up their Nest thermostats, security systems, cars, bank accounts etc etc etc. They are compromised beyond belief.

I have none of that.

I was at a burger joint here locally and the line was pretty deep getting in to order and I noticed not just one but all 15 people in front of me used their phones to pay for their meal. I did not and was looked at funny by the cashier but I didn’t care. As IT guy I know that the data these people are transmitting is not as secure as everyone would like to think. That compounded with the cloud and hoping the company that one does business with has your data locked down make the cell phone as very risky endeavor. But its easy and convenient and it looks so cool.... right?
