a refrigerator doesn't need the internet to tell you what you need.

a refrigerator doesn't need the internet to tell you what you need. I'm not a big fan of 'the internet of things'. I see no use for an overpriced thermostat that I could achieve the same result by just turning down the thermostat when i leave. If I am forgetful, perhaps I could apply some sticky note technology. not to be mentioned politicians have been saying 'we need to upgrade our electric system to a smart grid...' i was like oh cool, whats a smart grid? i was thinking like super efficient wires that had little resistance and cool switching systems. no, its just meters on your residence that can measure electricity so precise they can tell when someone stays over, or when you turn on the lights. The electric company is trying to force me to switch, keep calling for an appointment. no thanks.
