- mistermann 10y agoI would think the entire computing industry across nearly the entire spectrum would be very pleased if IOT-everything became some sort of a mania. Regardless of whether it makes sense, a sale is a sale!
- Jaepa 10y agoOh god, no. I think that would make companies happy, and cynically I'd say it give them a new tool for obsoleting hardware as standards change. But most people I know are more scared IoT then excited by it's potential. Most the people I know with IoT stuff installed are more often copy writers or repairs.
