Stop Doing IoT

Text on the meme

Stop Doing IoT • THINGS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE INTERNET • Years of WIRELESS JUNK yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for wireless FRIDGES • Wanted a cute little robot anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: it was called a "ROOMBA" • Yes, please give me the NEWS from my TOASTER. Please put garbage SOFTWARE on all my appliances" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged LOOK at what IoT manufacturers have been demanding your money for all this time, with all the electronics and code we made for them. (These are REAL IoT Devices, as REAL products) "Hello I would like spyware on my microwave please" They have played us for absolute fools

What it means

A satirical infographic criticizes the Internet of Things by showing absurd smart appliances, including connected refrigerators, microwaves, washing machines, and vending machines. The joke is that manufacturers add pointless software and surveillance to ordinary household devices, presenting useless “smart” features as valuable products.
