I was listening to an NPR story about 5G wireless technology. The guest was talking about how 5G will have to do so much more than what we think of today due to the rise of The Internet of Things and Connected Devices (both are things I fucking hate). He used cars as an example; they need to connect to streaming media (looks around the Xterra - Nope), cellular navigation (nope), OTA firmware updates (nope), two-way security (nope), remote diagnostics (nope), cellular remote-start and door locking (nope and nope).
He also went on to talk about the need for security with your internet connected fridge (nope, also, that's a thing? fucking why?), automated home device like Google Home or Alexa (nope), networked thermostat (nope), networked front door lock (huh? hell no!), garage door opener (who comes up with this shit? Fuck no) and half a dozen other "smart" things people have in their homes that apparently will need to run off 5G and won't go through your home router - meaning you can't block traffic from that device.
Yeah, I know I sound like a luddite, but no one is going to be hacking my Xterra's ignition over the internet. I remember when car thieves had pride in their work, you had to actually slimjim a door and pop an ignition cylinder; you couldn't just download some script off the Interwebz to steal a car!
Excuse me, I need to go stand on my front lawn in my underwear and shout at clouds.
