This prediction became partly true in a mundane, boring way. The Internet of Things has been a commercial reality for years.

Maybe, as another commenter mentioned, I'm actually too tech savvy for it to fade away. If IoT really were mundane, I wouldn't be aware of devices "being smart," they'd just "be." Or maybe it's an age thing. I'm only in my 30s, but I'm old enough to remember very few things being remotely smart. Maybe, for people who grew up with smart things, they just "are."
