This is why I do not want to own Internet-enabled sofa cushions. Neither do I desire Internet-enabled socks (actually SAW such things on the GadgetMan Christmas Special). Nor do I yearn for Internet-enabled curtains. I do not want any of my possessions to become part of SkyNet, raining down spam, clickfrauds, and horror down upon humanity.

That's why I insist that everything internet-connected in my house is 100% under my control.

I am sure the NSA could tell you the current temperature in my house already.

No, they could not. That is classified information, citizen. :problem?:
