February 12th: It’s Time To Rethink Our Smart Things

After announcing some new technology, someone would stand on stage and talk about how "smart" everything would soon become thanks to the Smart Appliance Framework. Soon, the television would be able to talk to the fridge which would then tell the washing machine to turn on. You would be able to connect your watch to the coffee machine and then send music from your lawnmower to a speaker in your pool. Because of this Smart Appliance your electronics could talk to each other, and you. Does that mean that your TV can see what you're doing or your Xbox can hear your conversations?
