But thats not really how markets work. It follows demands. If the ratio of ∂q_smart/∂t > ∂q_dumb/∂t then is what they will try to sell.
Eventually ∂q/∂t will reach near equilibrium, but even then, a smart device for most things a smart device that is never connected to anything is pretty much equivalent to a dumb device.
I'm not saying this article is right. I'm simply saying that IoT is less of a market and more a "feature".
Oh no, I agree full hearty with you. I think the IoT trend is scary a fuck. Especially since there is no rules for support. Even if the vendor does a good job building the system, after it stops receiving updates it will become unsafe to use.
I'm stating why I think IoT stuff will take off. I think its terrible, unavoidable future. I'm not against the principle of smart devices, but we are making them just smart enough to be dangerous to our networks, and to sloppy to be safe.
