I think this definition is too limiting. I do agree with data collection part though. Webcams, thermostats, bulbs, wrist watches, tv... Basically any electron

I think this definition is too limiting. I do agree with data collection part though. Webcams, thermostats, bulbs, wrist watches, tv... Basically any electronics we have used since forever without issues would now need to be connected to the internet. Mostly for zero consumer benefit. For most of these, Ardunios and Raspberry PIs would be overkill.
