That's the glass half empty view. I prefer the glass half full view that the future is going to be an exciting continuation of the endless and universal arms race between attackers and defenders. Life would be boring if there was no conflict.

I expect a more likely outcome will be that all systems move to an offline-dumb model by default because it will be cheaper and more reliable to pay a contractor that comes in occasionally to flip some dials than it is to deal with contractors that are constantly losing an ever-present arms-race.

I'm guessing the comment was more aimed at a future where needing a subscription to run your freezer is a thing.

Nice Internet you have there. Be a shame if anything happened to it.

Viewing the glass now requires a subscription and permanent internet access in case you try to view the glass without having an active license. For more details, check this gargantuan EULA that you had to sign to open the box where the glass came in. It also says that you owe us money for asking this question.
