Every day more things are being connected to the internet and it is suggested that one day everything that possibly can be connect will. However there hasn't been a massive rise in the purchasing of internet connecter things as expected. People are second guessing the reliability and safety.
O An estimated 1.5 trillion objects could connect to the internet.
I personally think that too many things are being connected to the internet as an attempt to draw people in with a tiny gimmick and giving it an excuse to spend 3x the money on the product.
Things like toothbrushes don't need to have some internet app that doesn't work half the time, they just need to be able to brush our teeth. I think that people aren't realising the limit of the internet and when to draw the line. To an extent it is limitless but practically it is, we warn about the advances and talk about how we don't want to end up in iRobot. But will still desire everything to be connected to the internet.
