But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. A smart appliance might tell you that you’re low on milk, that you forgot to put detergent in the dishwasher, or if the appliance needs a filter change.

One topic currently under much discussion is securing these devices. There has been speculation that a hacker might be able to access your WiFi and steal private data via your coffee maker. Everyone is talking about this, and working to solve the potential issue at this time.
