    Tech Enthusiasts: Everything in my house is wired to the Internet of Things! I control it all from my smartphone! My smart-house is bluetooth enabled and I can give it voice commands via alexa! I love the future!

    Programmers / Engineers: The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and I keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise.

      I know Issa joke but plenty of programmers love it stuff and it is more than possible to create a adequately secure iot system.

      I’m a driver developer and my wife is a cloud security Devopsy person and we run our own iot ecosystem and it’s quite nice.

        I switched from my pushbutton (not IOT) coffee machine to manual pourover because because in the morning before I’ve had any coffee, even pressing a button is too complicated for me.
