Connecting so much stuff to the network was always crazy. Ditto computerizing so much, some yes, but as much as we have? Horribly risky.

I doubt we'll see a shift away from "everything's on the network!" because it's so incredibly beneficial to the surveillance state, but one can hope.

I used to play some games with this theme when I was a kid: the Mega Man Battle Network series. The very first stage in the very first game, some dude social engineers his way into your house, hacks your inexplicably internet connected oven and nearly burns your entire family down. By the next game, terrorist netmafias are gassing children, nuking dams and hacking airplanes fully intending to crash them with no survivors.

I love computers so much but sometimes I do think they were a mistake.
