I know I have a growing number of devices on my home network. How about you?

Facebook won't let me log in because I block them from setting cookies and tracking me around the Internet. No Loss

That security article was describing the growing threat related to all of the different devices on home networks... cameras, routers, TV set top boxes, Smart TVs, printers, etc... all of those things are computers that could be compromised.
My network is relatively small but growing. 5 years ago I had 2, maybe 3 devices on my network. 3 years ago I had about 4 or 5 devices. I count 13 devices on mine today including routers... routers are small computers too. The count of devices on my network has just about doubled over the last 2 years. I will be adding a few more devices soon too. I suspect in 12 months I will have at least 3x the number of devices on my network that I had on it 3 years ago. Keeping it all patched and secure is getting more complicated and likely to turn into a big job. |

These new cars with Internet connections really scare me. I got out of Facebook a while ago, it wasn't easy.
I have an old lady phone, no smartphone, a PC and an Ipad. That's it. No more.
