This article got me thinking about the use of the term smart. I'm not sure why we call the every connected device smart. For the most part they're connected devices not smart devices. Smart to me means more than just being able to be controlled remotely. I think this is likely been pushed by marketing, but just because corporations say it's 'smart', does that mean we should all blindly start following suit. On a bigger note, we probably do this blindly for lots of products and services, trust and use the terms we're sold by entities that are mostly only interested in one thing... I'm as guilty as anyone, bit it would be good if we wised up to this stuff a bit more.
