Authentication, access control, basic remote and local vulnerabltiies,
viruses .. the works

        those things are networkable now... as are these:
        light switches, door locks,  keys,  skis, toilets,
        stuffed animals, cars, elevators, bras, eye glasses,
        and some currency.
        ... the list goes on and on...

Scary isn't it?  Not to sound like a stone age technophobe but some
things just weren't made to be put on a network.  I mean, a bra for
god's sake .. unless someone wants to make a Lindsay Lohan + Brittany
Murphy movie on networked bras.
