Think about the term "Internet of Things" in which things (objects, animals, and people) are connected to the Internet and can automatically transfer data over a network. Our society is already filled with many examples of "smart nodes"-such as cars, appliances, and entertainment devices-that are connected to the Internet.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of developing a more robust Internet of Things and continuing to add more smart nodes? What are a few items that are in your personal Internet of Things? Also, thinking about of these network connections what steps have you taken to secure your home wireless network? Explain why you have or have not taken these steps.
