## Resource

The headline sounds like it’s straight out of a sci-fi thriller; Man accidentally gains control of 7,000 robot vacuums. It actually happened and it’s raising questions about privacy issues as smart homes get "smarter." Our guest is Mack DeGeurin, a tech reporter who reported on this story for Popular Science. We are talking with him about how this situation actually unfolded, what the company has to say about it, and the things to consider when you’re connecting devices all over your home.
