The future, with all the smart homes, can be very interesting. You screw in a light bulb and it hacks your door lock.
I can't say I'm looking forward to a future where this is the norm. It's an Orwellian nightmare just waiting to happen. If it's connected to a computer or the internet it can be hacked. Most people will be oblivious to who and what is watching them through the webcams on their TV and microphones on their fridge etc.
