"It would be amazing if we as a society would spend all that money and effort in worthy problems."
On the contrary, monetization for the sake of wealth generation is a worthwhile effort in a society based on materialism & selfish desires. We have been programmed all our lives to take & want & connive(perfected to a science in the US & most 1st World countries), that's what capitalism has evolved to, IMO. This Internet Of Other Peoples' Things is just the latest, most efficient way they have found to wheedle, cajole and manipulate us fools from our money!Plus, don't forget the data collection opportunities! Hitler would love the IOOPTs.
Although, Windows 10 looks to be breaking some pretty scary ground. Google & Apple eat your hearts out!
