Objects connected to the internet

There are many objects or devices today that are connected to the internet.  These items range from many products.  One product relating to your housing environment would be the nest thermostat. The Nest Learning Thermostat is a smart thermostat developed by Nest Labs and designed by Tony Fadell, Ben Filson, and Fred Bould. It is an electronic, programmable, and self-learning Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat that optimizes heating and cooling of homes and businesses to conserve energy. Another device connected to the internet that involves home security is Ring.  Ring is a home security company recently invested in by Amazon. Ring manufactures a range of home security products that incorporate outdoor motion based cameras and doorbells, such as the Ring Video Doorbell.  The last product I will mention is Amazon’s Alexa and that is an interactive home speaker that can play music, give you news and weather updates and even call people.  I believe having objects connected to the internet are mostly a luxury and if you have nothing to hide they can be very beneficial to safety and your own quality of life.  If you have something to hide, well, these interactive speakers are apparently always listening to you so you better watch out.
