Connectivity's value is almost erased by the costs it can impose • The Register
'We’ve reached a very delicate point, where the value of connected intelligence is almost entirely countered by the costs it can impose. '
'Another cost - and the bigger worry - is that this connected intelligence isn’t entirely benevolent. '
'It feels as though we got the benefits of connected intelligence for free; it’s only just now that we can see that bill is being presented - and it’s a whopper. '
'Every connection is a way into a device that may have something of value - credit card numbers, or passwords, or Bitcoins. '
'When I did, I discovered Glitch had lost everything I’d typed in the previous two hours. '
