I agree and disagree with some of these, i get where he is going. However I think there are better choices out there for this list.

GPS - as much as smartphones have improved the whole GPS thing, until smartphones can provide consistent service I a wide variety of areas as a dedicated GPS will be around for a long time. Example mountainous areas, low service areas etc. I'll hang on to mine for those long drives.

Bulbs - yea smart bulbs are great and all, but unless they drop a ton in prices and show consistent durability its gonna be a slow adoption. Plus not everyone wants a house filed with connected devices.

Consoles - until good broadband speeds (with no data caps) are available to a majority of the people localized gaming hardware will live on for a very longtime. Especially if ISPs follow the trend of Comcast and AT&T with data caps.

Point-and-shoots and dedicated fitness trackers i completely agree are on the chopping block.

With all the connected devices out there I was just wondering if people really want yet another connected device in their house, especially something as mundane as a jazzed up light bulb.
From your response apparently there is market for this.

I disagree with everything this guy said.

dedicated GPS wont be dead. Phone GPS isnt reliable and majority of users use only Gmaps which require internet connection/ cell signal for searching.

Consoles dead is he high? Consoles will evolve but never die. When internet is truely unlimited and has little to no latency then sure.

Bulbs -.- I dont even have to elaborate on that.


Point and shoot. No matter how good phone cameras get point and shoot will always have the ability to be better. they have alot more space to fit more powerful equipment.

Dedicated fitness devices. thats what the smart watches do these days. Fitness devices just evolved.

Thats my take on it all.

Utter rubbish. What an idiot. Then again opinions are the cheapest commodity in existence. Shame on you CNet.

The utility of staying one room and having control of all the lights from a smartphone, or turning on the light at home while you are away is why I got them. Also, I am pretty big on privacy and security, with that said I couldn't think of a way in which light bulbs could jeopardize that. However, if we were talking about connected/smart door locks...
