It's important to keep in mind that in the not-so-distant future, their
'machines' will include every article of clothing they own, every can of
soda in their refrigerator, ever major (and many minor) components of
their automobiles, every blade in their windowshades, etc.
I don't see how this is a problem exactly? If people want to buy
devices that connect to their home network, they need to be aware of
what these devices can do, and it is their responsibility.
Better to teach them _now_ rather then later.
If Timmy Numbnuts doesn't understand that plugging in a random device he
found at Goodwill to his network could potentially carry liabilities,
then he will keep doing it.
I point to the current trend of parents watching and smiling, doing
nothing as their kids destroy people's stores and restaurants. ISPs are
literally doing the exact same thing when it comes to coddling their
customers.
