The internet seems like the easy solution, not the obvious solution. For years, we have used the internet for things that didn't need it because it was easier and it seemed safe enough. I think that the coming months and years are going to see a lot of companies burned by that decision and scrambling to undo it.

The fact was that it was never safe, it was never secure, but that taking advantage of those problems was hard, and generally not monetarily worth it, meant we ignored the issues. That's no longer the case.

As for low quality software, the floor for the quality that internet connected software needs to have is now dramatically higher than the quality that non-connected software needs. I think that in many applications, it may no longer be economically worth it, or maybe even possible at all, to hit the necessary quality.

I think it's a tough question.

First, I don't think people will give up the convenience of having instant access to the information.

Second, hackers are way ahead in terms of using AI. But it doesn't mean that it's going to stay that way. AI is going to be used for cyber security more. The implication is that the operating costs will be higher. In this case, it will make your groceries more expensive.

isn't it closer to the internet is owned by business interests, even though most of it was built out by the public and it was just slowly moved into the hands of people who don't care particularly about how it's secured.
