Evolution of Smart Products cartoon - Marketoonist | Tom Fishburne

One of the most popular cartoons I ever drew was about the Internet of Things, right after Google announced the acquisition of Nest in early 2014. “I think my Nest smoke alarm is going off,” one character tells another. “Google Adwords just pitched me a fire extinguisher and an offer for temporary housing.”

@baekdal I bought a Haier stove and it was very unclear how the "wifi enabled" aspects worked. Plugged it in and my wifi told me that it was trying to access. There's no keyboard or anything on the stove but there's a QR code and there's an app which let me log on to wifi, the stove however was sending data constantly but the app wouldn't let me log in to the stove. So about 1/3 of the functions are app-only so I can't use them. A year later I have the wifi muted and I'll never buy Haier again.
