Caption Contest: An Iota of IoT

Is your toaster smarter than you?

It's not a question that comes up very often, but that may be the way of the future, as we move into a world of connected devices. Cars that drive themselves, doors that recognize you and refrigerators that tell you you're not eating enough vegetables. That is the promise of the Internet of Things (IoT).

Will this make life easier for us, with cheaper, always-on solutions or are we bringing in a dystopian nightmare where machines rule the world? Will constantly connected everything make life simpler, or just allow for more hacking and ransomware disasters?

And also, is that toaster really smarter than you?

And so we thought, perhaps that's what needs to be explored in this month's caption contest. Let's get those creative juices flowing -- but this time, instead of mocking humans we'll make fun of machines. Enjoyment all around, and no danger of being politically incorrect.
