Post Live editor Mary Jordan spoke with Jules Polonetsky, executive director and co-chair of the Future of Privacy Forum, about the Internet of Things at Washington Post Live's All Things Connected forum. Polonetsky noted the existence of something he called the theory of creepy. "Somebody's 'creepy' is somebody's 'cool' gadget," Polonetsky said, citing devices from history like Caller ID that were once also thought of as creepy.
