Internet and Wireless in the World

      Internet is growing rapidly. The variety of speeds and the amount of things you can do with the internet are endless. More and more daily tasks are now easier because of wireless technologies. You can start your car from hundreds of miles away, surf the internet without any cords, but is all of this actually safe.
      The iPhone and other smartphones are at the center of all these wireless activities. You can control almost everything with your iPhone, TV, computer, house, and ever car. I was thinking about all the shortcuts the iPhone can perform and realized that if you're a really experienced hacker that can get into government servers, you could hack into peoples iPhone's too. I read some articles about how hackers were downloading apps using other peoples accounts and passwords. If people can do this then they could probably easily steal your car too. 
      There are now lots of TV's that are internet ready. They are TV's with apps similar to the iPhone I think that in a few years internet could replace cable TV. Services like Netflix and Hulu can stream TV episodes and Movies straight to your internet ready TV. Its also cheaper than cable. I use Netflix and Hulu, they are awesome. Maybe in a few years no one will know what cable is.The TV's also allow for people to go on websites like Facebook, and even read  the news. I have a 55" TV and going on Facebook on a 55" TV is pretty cool. 
     There have been some new wireless products that I've seen and read about. I see lots of ads about wireless charging pads, and have even read about a soup that can be cooked on a wireless counter top. I read this on FLUD an app that has cool news. It said a kitchen counter top was being created that when you buy certain products and lay it on the counter, that it would automatically start cooking by itself. The craziest thing I read about was a speaker that was just a box and could control who hears what in a room. Basically you point the speaker at someone and only that person could hear the music that your were playing. There are some crazy new electronics that are being created today.
      Technology is really getting more advanced. I don't even know what to expect anymore.
