      Just wait until your IoT smart washing machine turns on its camera and microphone and attaches that to its chemical analysis of the dirt in your clothes and location data, which all get sent to company HQ and then sold to marketers, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance companies.
      
      "Our analysis shows that the family at location X includes at least one person whose blood shows signs of diabetes."
