Too Plugged In?

[l921428x]

I don't know about you guys but to me this is starting to get real
creepy. With refrigerators, home systems that you can turn on/off
with your smart phone and the phones themselves all being a
potential intrusive in your home. And what is to stop the .gov from using the
other side of a device to open your home if you have such a system and
come on in if they see fit?

This is not

It is not that far fetched. My uncles dead bolt on his front door is attached to his alarm system and can be unlocked with a code. Also didnt chrysler have some issue with a hacker putting cars off the road because of the onstar crap a while back?

Not sure of the make of car but yes cars were being hacked and how
about guns safe that are wired to the "internet of things?"
Hell wifi puts it all out there. GPS standard in cars and on phones
and you cannot turn it off. More and more paying with plastic?

With an EMP would you be "locked out?" I know your bank account is out of the Q
and I was just at the store and maybe 6 people in front of me and they all payed
with a card of some type.

It is profound how people have accepted this and do not understand the implications.

Say a typical day: The phone knows you are home and the frig has just pinged a couple of
openings, your lock just pinged you left and your car pings someone is in it and tracks
where you go. Your phone pings at work and pings a text message. You leave and go to
lunch and eat out your card and phone and car say you are there. Your car pings it's moving
and your car and phone say you are at the grocery store and your card proves it when it pings you
have paid. Your car follows you home and your phone pings the alarm is off and you make a call
and that info is also picked up as to who you called. And now the house ping the alarm is set at 10:30pm.
The refrig pings at 2:00 am that it is opened

Ah hell it is snowing big fluffy flakes.

There is no way in hell I will embrace IoT. I won't even have a smart tv.


Way too much opportunity for mischief at our expense.

If you have a cellphone old or new doesn't matter, they can find you. If you car is less than 10 years old they can find you. Breaking into houses and cars is the easiest thing in the world, the military even gave me a case of tools specialized to that purpose. Defeating alarm sensors is easy, I go to courses for that.

If the lights go off, it won't be that bad, people will adapt and life will go on, the world will not implode, it may get a little confusing but it won't be the end, plenty of people on this planet with out money.
