Explain the 3.0 debate (likely scenarios)

When I saw that one application for a Smart Refrigerator with a large screen was the ability to look at the contents of the refrigerator without needing to open the door, I thought that was smart. Weather, a family calendar with events and appointments made sense, too. Browsing didn't seem very useful, unless you were pulling up recipes online.

Of course, the whole thing would turn into a version of future distopian adware everywhere ala Bladerunner, Ghost in the Machine, Minority Report, etc. Nope!

I'm afraid my refrigerator would rat me out. "Mrs TRG your husband had three beers while cooking the chicken dinner on the BBQ. If he goes for another one give him a clip behind the ear."

My Alexa devices spy on me. But she tells me the weather, turns on and off some lights and plays music so I guess I'll let it slide.

We've found "her" to be less and less accurate or useful. In prep for the pay Alexa?
