Makes you wonder about the whole Huawei issue.

Just about everything is connected to the internet. Power grid. Industrial plants. Water & sewer plants. Worries me.

Onstar telling you you have a low tire and doing software upgrades. They can shut your car down, Russian hackers shutting down all GM vehicles at once on the LA freeway?

With people wanting to connect their home's major functions to the internet, we've now officially crossed the threshold into the ridiculous. 

I often say if I could be transported by time machine back to the 1960s or 1970s, I'd go there in an instant.  No social media, no cell phones with cameras, no computer-controlled everything... you could call a business and actually talk to a person... etc.  smile
