Subject: Your Car: The Next Net Appliance
Let's stop and think. Will a thinking toaster help anyone ("Your Car: The Next Net Appliance," March 5, 2001)?
Would you want someone else to access your car while you are driving it? What about the plane on which you are a passenger? Think how much fun terrorists would have if, instead of planting a bomb, they could just shut the motors off using the Internet. What happened to the principle of K.I.S.S. (keep it simple, stupid)?
