I refer to this as the internet of abandoned things. Everything that's a thing today will be abandoned by the vendor eventually, usually A) within at 3 to 5 year refresh cycle or B) when the company goes out of business, or C) when it's acquired and inevitably shut down by google/cisco/etc.

Amazon Echo, Alexa, Google Home Hub, all seem like modern versions of Thing. I mean the TV show version of Thing, the disembodied hand that would appear out of various boxes around the house and perform small tasks. Not to be confused with Lurch. Alexa, turn the record over, and bring me a cigar.
