@jeder While not an academically precise extension of its original meaning... that using ubiquitous connectivity to allow manufacturers to convert a product into a paid service with customer tracking is an acceptable use of Doctorow's word.

Wemo, Samsung and Cardia Mobile are exemplars of the phenomenon.

In aggregate, these are not single inconveniences, they embody the concept that Doctorow wants us all to recognize: The question is Who Owns Our Capacity to participate?!
