At the point where someone invents a stupid kettle that connects to the internet sez I.

Suppose you decide you really want some tea, but are deep in some programming task. This would let you send a command to the kettle from your computer, and then be notified
the water is ready. Come down and make your tea.
It would save you another trip down to the kitchen, or a few minutes puttering around while the tea water boils.
Connecting it up to your cell phone would let you send the requisite command from any room in the house.
Limited usefulness, verging on a stupid trick, and while it might be worth a very slight premium to be able to control the kettle from the other room, the security implications cancel out that advantage and more.
Of course, a proper tea break is useful for productivity.
What if the point isn’t to steal your money but to provide a point of access to the Internet that can mask the perpetrator of illegal activity?
