You're TV is smart enough to connect to the internet anyway... It will use your neighbor's ring doorbell, nest, or other IOT device serving Weave, Amazon Sidewalk or other corporate IOT networks to upload its telemetry anyway.

If a cashier scans something incorrectly, its their mistake. If I scan something incorrectly, its theft. I'd rather not take on that liability.

Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?

Because it was dead.

Why did the frog fall out of the tree?

Because it was stapled to the monkey!

Its here to stay for some areas... Flight / racing Sims do extremely well in VR.

Beat saber and a few others have shown staying power too.

But of course it was never going to be the "replace everything and do everything" people think every new hot tech is going to be.

Worse, they start injecting AI generated songs when you're not paying attention and can keep more of the royalties for themselves

The TV can still connect via weave, Amazon sidewalk, or other mesh networks through your neighbors doorbell or thermostat or whatever... Even if you never connect it, it could still report. Have to open it up and destroy the antennas.

And the character, obviously unaware of this, inevitably tries to use their powers and gets your body killed... Preventing you from ever switching back. As this can happen repeatedly, you are doomed to multiverse jumping to random people's lives until your death... Leaving a trail of ruined out of place lives behind you.
