Re: It's not so smart to have a 'smart meter'

You are probably right.....so I am glad I am at the bum end of my existence.
Don't get me wrong I quite like technology......I am(for my age) quite computer literate.
But all these innovations are fine if they don't break down...you only need to have a 'glitch' like the ones which have affected some of the banks(and eBay as recently as Sunday) in the not so distant past....and you are stranded.
These new fangled things also have the power to track your movements...fine if you want to be under even more surveillance than we currently are.
Also how long will it be before the criminal element have found some way to wipe the cash off your wristband or just steal it from you.
Who does it make life easier for...and how do those who promote these things make money from their use?
