Always on cell modems are eventually going to be installed in most electronics and it kind of terrifies me. I only want a handful of internet connected devices in my home and at some point that won't be possible. I can keep my "smart" TV offline today, but what about when it has a cell connection? Will I need to physically destroy the cell modem on my TV, refrigerator, stove, etc just to maintain some modicum of privacy?
