Except I just don't think manufacturing will comply and stop making IOT type devices, from TVs to refrigerators, will just stop being internet capable or have things like the Google TV OS on it.

Ultimately, this will die. The alternative is a murder/suicide of the tech industry and the Internet and we are a tech driven world.

At least that is my hope.
