"you get to choose: either you get to be smart, or your devices. Not both."
I don't agree with this, actually. My home is full of smart devices. But none of them can, or need to, talk to any machine that I don't own and control.
But I'm sure that what you meant by "smart devices" is the crop of cloud-based spythings rather than the entire class of smart devices.
