This is exactly what the enemies of freedom are waiting for. When everyday appliances have wifi access, every home in America could be completely crippled by a cyber attack.

Picture this: one day you're sitting at home. It's twelve-thirty, you're just getting out of bed. You put on some soft afternoon lounge jazz to make yourself an enjoyable brunch. You get out two eggs for an omelette, along with an assortment of peppers, onion, and some of those fancy grinders for the pepper and ground salt. You set the timer on your iPhone for the cheese grater, and set two small chunks of cheddar nearby. The stove's on, the eggs are cooking. As you get the cutting board out, you check your phone again. The cheese grater isn't responding. You try again. Nothing. You ping the cheese grater again and again. No response. The eggs are burning. You collapse. It's happened. They've won.
