My toaster now has Wi-Fi. What does my toaster need Wi-Fi for? Is it going to order bread for me? Is it going to tell me my toast is undercooked, like it knows my preferences better than I do? ‘Jerry, I noticed you prefer a darker char on your rye. Would you like me to adjust the setting?’ No! Just make the toast! It’s supposed to be simpler, but now I have to update my toaster’s firmware. What if there’s a virus? My toast could get hacked! I could wake up to burnt toast because some hacker in Latvia decided to mess with my breakfast settings.
