Sure!
2024: IoT voting machines are deployed to a majority of US polling places. Peter Thiel is elected President in a stunning upset.
2025: Tavis Ormandy dies in a tragic IoT jetski accident.
2030: All new cars are required to have fully autonomous and connected control.
2040: Cars produced before 2030 are taxed at 50% of their initial purchase value per year.
2045: North Korea deploys its long-held stockpile of cyber-weapons against the perceived EuroAmeriUnion threat, causing mass fatalities in IoT cars. Since North Korea's vehicles were all produced before 2030, the EAU is forced to fall back to a nuclear response. In its last, desperate act of retaliation, NK's leadership releases its cyber arsenal on the public internet.
2046: In the ensuing nuclear winter, hacker gangs desperately rampage through the Internet of Things in search of food and fuel. Only those with non-connected possessions are unaffected.
I'll be dead either way, but it's not hard to imagine the IoT turning ugly.
