I see all this connectivity and the back end needed to make it work a lot like basic electricity. Early on we had competing visions, best practices were being learned the hard way and regulation was in its infancy. Later on, with a lot settled, electricity became utilitarian, but not a given still. My camp trailer fridge works on 110v or propane. The table radio in it works on 110V, 12V or batteries inside the device. I have (dangerous) gas lighting in that unit as well as electric. Power isn't a given and the devices from the era are designed to operate under that state of things. This all seems very early. We lack foresight because people are pioneering. Users of this tech are also pioneering. Someone is gonna do it. Let's hope they do it increasingly well and sooner. One day, this will all be real infrastructure, with all the girls along with: regulation standards the usual. Until then it's kind of a wild west. Play hard, but play eyes wide open too. Or pass and watch as it all forms to be more robust just like people did with electricity.
