I&#39;ve consulted for and worked with any number of dot-coms, and the one lesson I&#39;ve gotten over and over again?<br/><br/>The Internet&#39;s business model is betrayal.<br/><br/>We have no smart lights. No voice assistants. No Alexa or Siri. No video doorbell. Our thermostat and appliances constantly complain about their lack of Internet. None of this stuff is safe.<br/><br/>The Internet tech I do use? A desktop PC. Email on my phone is for travel only: airplane tickets, hotel reservations, hockey and concert tix. Location on my phone? Nope, we use a dedicated non-networked GPS in the car. The microphones are off.<br/><br/>How can a light bulb betray me? I don&#39;t know.
