Point 6 says that security for billions of IoT devices will be important.<br>
<br>
In my opinion it will be a showstopper. At present banks get hacked<br>
for millions. If they can't even protect banks then there is no chance<br>
that they will be successful in protecting our devices. Every device<br>
will be hackable, transmitting our data, listening to conversations,<br>
recording through cameras. etc.<br>
<br>
The only protection will be not to have any of these devices - Luddites Live!<br>
