Why do the idiots running things connect every damn thing to the internet? Things worked before the internet existed and if you really gotta, hafta, can't do without computer control--those computers don't have to use the internet. How many times have hackers stolen national security secrets, secret designs, etc. by hacking? You can't hack what you can't access. A Navy computer man told me that Navy ships are run by computer--if the computer is down which could be caused by a computer virus, an electromagnetic impulse, or just lousy Microsoft software, the ship is dead in the water. The US won the war in the Pacific with ships controlled by men--not computers. Time to wise up. Disconnect important things from the internet and always have manual overrides. This is just common sense--which is sorely lacking these days.
