I like how he mentions Facebook of all things as a model of how the IoT should work.<p>So, after we could all witness the massive conflicts of interest (with regards to their users) and privacy problems that emerge when there is a single entity that collects, stores and distributes your data, we should do the same thing with the IoT, except, this time we'll give this entity physical access to our house.<p>I agree with his sentiment that this will be the likely future. I just disagree that this is a developent to look forward to.<p>As for the argument that finding a common interface to turn on a lightbulb is impossible, because <i>our</i> lightbulb is so special, I dont buy this. Standards like DLNA show that it is possible to develop interfaces for much more sophisticated problems and actually make them work in the real world.
