For some reason companies try to put computers and networks into everything. Take cars for example, not only they are full of computers running very complex software (most of which is not really needed), now there is even internet connection for cars. Why? My 1982 car does not have internet connection and I really don't see a reason why it should.
I started preferring simpler devices, usually ones that I can repair myself if they break. Sure, computers are an exception and I have an older smartphone (Nokia E90 - it has a proper keyboard, I hate touchscreens), but my other phone is a Nokia 1100 - a simple feature phone - because I only use it for calls and SMS. I also can understand how my car works without having to disassemble hundreds of megabytes of software and the electrical diagram takes up a single A3 page and most electrical problems usually are a result of a poor connection.
And no, I don't see a reason to connect my car, refrigerator or light bulb to the internet. I can use an IPTV set top box or connect a PC to a TV, but there is not reason for me to connect the TV itself to the internet.
