I don't see this as a doom and gloom post. One never knows if the thoughts and opinions posted are helpful to someone else, or are making someone think in a new way. Personally, I think contemplating the questions of tech and 'smart tech' is important although I agree this scenario (smart home to sewing machine) might not truly be one that gets targeted by hackers or malware/ransomware. If this even helps someone think a second time about better securing their wireless or devices, it's a good thing.
