Smart technologies are too much

Thpsguy

Ever feel like we relie too much on smart techblike why do syoeemarket chilllers and lower grids need to be run remotly causing cyber attack concerns 

Even TVs don't need it we can just use smart boxes for catch up stuff and it's going too far woru video games needing updates all the time 

The internet just complicates things

  • Hi  

    I agree with you entirely, and that's coming from the mind of a Lead Software Engineer. Switching lights on and off is one thing, but the progress that's been made is frankly shocking.

    For starters, look what happened recently with the hack on fridges? Smart tech supposedly used to monitor the status of the fridge, hacked and used to increase the temperature.

    We hear of all sorts of things; smart watches, smart rings, smart glasses, fitness trackers, glucose monitors etc., but I feel as a software professional, it's only a matter of time before something nasty happens.

    Imagine if someone was able to hack connected glucose monitors so that they over-read a persons true levels, resulting in them injecting insulin when not actually needing to. That's my fear.
