Been in tech dev for about 30 years. I don't do facebook, twitter. I didn't do myspace. I avoid things like Alexa in my home, 'internet enabled light bulbs', vacuum cleaners with cameras in them.. and I put black electrical tape over any camera in laptops/devices.

People are often surprised by that, they think I'd do the opposite 'because I work in tech'

No. It's because I work in tech that I avoid those things.

There are 2 types of I.T. people, those who embrace IOT and connect anything/everything to the internet, and those who keep a gun beside the printer in case it starts to act weird.

The trouble starts when it prints its own.

It's the thing you use to print plastic versions of the floppy disk icon.
