The Internet of Actual Things

Giles Turnbull envisions a future where all our mundane possessions, from toenail clippers to your favourite jeans, will be connected. And you might not always like what they have to say:

Next time you check your email via your smart watch or your smart necklace, a glum message will await you, sent by the old pair of jeans still hanging in the wardrobe.
“I gather you’re replacing me,” they’ll say. “When were you thinking of telling me about that?”
You’ll hit delete, but your old jeans will keep emailing anyway. “I can’t believe you’re doing this. I never complained about your expanding waistline, did I?”
