Glimpse of your life in 2020 thanks to the Internet of Things (http://blogs.computerworld.com/privacy/21369/glimpse-your-life-2020-thanks-internet-things?source=CTWNLE_nlt_pm_2012-11-20)

I'm really torn by stuff like that, because on the one hand I want my alarm clock to tell the heated bathroom tiles to turn on and I want my shower to turn my coffee pot on. But the fllipside is that I'm well aware of the potential for annoying nanny-statism. "Caleb, you ate nothing but bacon and coffee today, you should really have some veggies." Or even worse than that, my car sending a text to my insurance company when I speed.

That's why, for Christmas, I want an uncle with a Red Barchetta hidden under some old debris in his barn.

I would be content if I didn't have to manually change the sorting so FB isn't telling me what it thinks is important for me to read first.
