Human nature does not change all that much if it is a market system that makes this future then the future will be made of things that are marketable smart toasters may not be part of that set. Where is the demand for an internet of things.

In the same way that the thing that changed everything in the Space-age had nothing to do with space. [aside in the late 80's there was a coke machine with an internet address we used to make it spit out free drinks by poking it.]
