I get your point, though I actually like the intent of a lot of these devices. I mean, if the smart refrigerator weren't so overpriced, I can see the value in a calendar and shopping list on the refrigerator. Its exactly why people hang paper ones there, but with the added benefit of being synced. But yeah, there are definitely a lot of overboard cases. I can't imagine using the Alexa microwave or voice controlled headphones. Some of these definitely have a 2008 app store vibe to them.

Unfortunately, I don't trust the vendors of these devices to make them not easily exploitable, I wouldn't trust them with my wifi connection or any of my data.
