Oh, hmm, well. Uh, lil, I'm not really a good person to ask about these kinds of things. I'd actually like to hear what kleinbl00, insomniasexx, bfv, and the other tech savy people on this site think.

Personally, I'm a bit of a luddite and my knowledge about how technology really works and what people can do with them borders on the paranoid (though I did suspect that the government did a lot with our phones and internet well before the whole Snowden leaks). That said, I think until we can better protect ourselves from problems like these, the less things connected to the internet, the better. Cars, thermostats, fancy shoes and children's toys that can communicate with our phone, etc. just create more and more holes for people to take advantage of.
