summary
Panelists debate concrete hurdles and plausible near-term builds: battery and data-storage limits block many IoT ideas, so piezoelectric shoe harvest and energy-harvesting wearables get called out as realistic workarounds; voice interfaces prove convenient but brittle, with Amazon Echo as turnkey home controller showing what works today; phones consolidate control but centralize privacy risk, prompting proposals for an identity token device separate from biometrics; the value of open source Qt code is cited for transparency and auditability.
