IoT was always a bad vision for the future. 20 years from now I don't want a million devices in my home running software. Either they'll all constantly be pestering me with updates that break functionality I rely on, or they'll be out of date with bugs and security holes that last forever.

My vision of a good future is one where I have exactly one smart device: a robot butler which will operate all my other devices. I don't need smart switches if my butler turns off all the lights for me. I don't need a smart lock if the butler unlocks the door for me. I don't need a security webcam if the butler monitors the house while I'm away. I don't need a smart thermostat if the butler sets it for me. Etc.
