Why is everything connected to the Internet?
This is the impression you get from books news and disaster movies. Hackers could hack anything. Why would a water treatment plant need to be connected to the internet?
When I was in the lab, only part of the instruments were connected to the intranet, the company internal network. Some data we carried around on attached drives.

Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late
Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

But some locations are manned at all times. They have phones to wake up experts at home if they cannot figure it out on their own. Nuclear reactors for example.

...and your appliances. Some Nerdy young thing tried to explain to me how convenient it would be if the dishwasher were connected to the internet. I pointed out that there was an "on" button, and that does fine.

Re: Why is everything connected to the Internet?
I’ve read that radio and tv presenters have to be really careful how they use the words ‘Alexa’ and the other common home-bot names. There have apparently been a number of instances of unintended events such as lights turning on, coffee perking and the like. The potential for mayhem is quite exhilarating!

I saw a prank not long ago on Xbox where a gamer made his username Xboxsignout. He'd then stand in team-mate's way, blocking them, on Call of Duty and they'd shout "Xboxsignout. Get out of the way!" Followed by, "Oh shi-!" as their Xbox signed out.

I am going to donate my brain to be connected to the internet forever, with a permanent gin drip into the cerebrospinal fluid...
