Funny story, last week I was telling a coworker about how I had fully automated my home back around 1995. He was genuinely surprised that this was possible before "the internet of things".
I had to inform him that the only difference between the tech of today and the tech then is that today's tech is smaller and cheaper, and the only difference between "automation" and "internet of things" is that the latter involves being subjected to surveillance. But he's a young sprout and has no living memory of the state of things back then.
