The line is not arbitrary; it's nuanced. We're discussing replacing everyday objects with Internet Things that are designed as closed appliances, often monetizing the passive data that you, merely by living, create. Building the Internet of Things is different from what many of us do which is creating technological toys, digital tools, automated business processes, knowledge bases, communications tools, and digital publications. To offset the enormous costs of these types of works, people pioneered monetization of data we presumed to be private, in many cases. We've made this bed and now, with Internet of Things, we literally will lie in it.
