I don't have a TV and my fridge is pretty dumb...

 

all of that is possible and/or real but the over all picture he paints is kinda like the old "by the 21'st century we'll all have flying cars".

internet objects actually "altering reality" ? no more than we alter reality when we make a grilled cheese sandwich.

 

true its but i dont think its a case of if we get that more a when we get all that, which like you said could be not untill hundreds of years have passed. and true again used correctly its not a problem the same as a sub dermal implant that contains id and bank info and even monitors your health is a good idea. but if someone was to abuse it.
