"Why must everything be connected to the internet?" Really, why?

From DepletedCranium.com:

"Is there a reason every information system, every embedded technology and every damn piece of computerized technology must be connected to the internet?"

Really. A good question... I see no valid reason that everything should be connected to the internet. I mean, why would you connect the Power Grid, pentagon weapon plans and other stuff to the internet, and then create a big deal out of Power Grid breaches, F22 information stolen by China or some other foreign power?

Do you really think our Govt. is that stupid? I don't think so.

Could it be a 'false-flag' to garner fear so that the internet will be regulated by Congress? I don't know. Do you?

All kidding aside the above article is a good read, IMHO.
