Er, here's the difference guys. In the future, if I have a poorly designed
network that my home is attached too (say, power, lights, coffee machine,
etc. all attached to my home network), if somebody breaks that, they can
cause havok by turning on my lights (which sounds fun, btw), cracking my PCs
locally and obtaining information I don't want them to have, etc.
And there are people who will do this, we all know this.
In contrast, there aren't many people wanting to break into my plumbing
system. At least not where I'm from ... :)
