In case you’re wondering, microwaves can’t take pictures of you. For starters, they don’t have cameras. But—and I can’t believe I’m writing this—Kellyanne Conway earlier this week was right to raise concerns about the security of “smart” devices connected to the Internet, even if it was an attempt to distract from President Trump’s unsubstantiated claim that President Obama had “wiretapped” Trump Tower.
Had Conway said she was worried about her dishwasher instead of her microwave, she might’ve been on to something. Back in 2012, a Wired headline read, “CIA Chief: We’ll Spy On You Through Your Dishwasher,” describing the clandestine agency’s very real plans to hack the “Internet of Things.” And as we now know, the CIA did find a way to turn Samsung “smart” TVs into covert listening devices.
In fact, the proliferation of Internet-connected devices with poor security is a major problem for at least a few reasons. First, they are indeed capable of exposing personal information—which is precisely why the CIA did it. The words we say in front of the TV are, to put it mildly, quite different from the words we would use on TV. And other “smart” home devices, from thermostats to baby monitors to Wi-Fi-enabled light bulbs, are also vulnerable to hacking.
CBD Retail’s new rules for 2015: It’s all about being connected

THE RECORD
* Stores must confront change from tech to real estate
This year, retailers are learning to play by a new set of rules.
Retailers are entering 2015 by confronting the most sweeping changes in the last 100 years. That was the consensus as a record number of retail executives gathered last week in New York City for the 104th meeting of the National Retail Federation.
It’s not just the steep increases in online shopping that they must respond to, but the shifts in how consumers connect with sellers through mobile phones, tablets and Wi-Fi-enabled devices in stores are causing retailers to rethink their business models. Today, building a state-of-the-art mobile application to ease instant transactions via smartphone is seen as a wiser investment than spending millions on a new store.
At the four-day retail convention, five new retail realities emerged from the thousands of hours of panel discussions, keynote addresses and informal meetings on the exhibit floor. Here are the new rules for 2015:
You need fans more than you need customers
It is telling that this year’s retail think-tank began with five sports executives — from the National Basketball Association, National Hockey League, and the Women’s Tennis Association, and two presidents of a National Football League team and a German soccer club — talking about the lessons retailers can learn from passionate sports fandom.
Paraag Marathe, president of the San Francisco 49ers football team, told retailers that during a typical game, 50 percent of the crowd is using the team’s mobile app, either making reservations for the stadium’s restaurants, downloading statistics, or buying team shirts and hats. The goal, Marathe said, is creating more fan loyalty and engagement, not selling. “You can’t sell season tickets to a sold-out house,” he said.
The hockey, basketball and women’s tennis associations also are trying to bolster fan engagement by making information and statistics available through mobile apps.
The customer-as-fan theme was repeated in sessions throughout the four days of the convention, with experts saying that in today’s world selling isn’t about getting a random person to stumble on your store and buy something, but about creating brand loyalty that makes shoppers look for you and buy from you, whether it is online, in a store, or on their phone.
In a later session at the convention, James Curleigh, president of the denim retailer Levi Strauss & Co., said that he thinks of his customers as fans and that retailers need to give them a memorable experience that keeps fans coming back. Levi’s decision to put its name on the new stadium in San Francisco, where the 49ers play and where rock concerts are held, is part of its plan to connect with new fans, he said.
Retailers offer apps, Wi-Fi for Black Friday shopping

The Record
This Black Friday, which actually begins tonight, on Thanksgiving, getting shoppers to reach for their smartphones is almost as important to retailers as getting them to reach for their wallets.
While retailers spent the beginning of this week engaged in some of the traditional preparations for Thanksgiving night and Black Friday — stocking shelves, having door-buster specials stacked and ready to go in backrooms and warehouses, unpacking merchandise — some of the most important advance work for this weekend began right after Black Friday 2013, when retailers realized they needed to make it easier to shop by phone.
The country’s largest retailers are greeting customers this weekend with new or upgraded mobile apps that perform functions such as steering them through the store to find a specific item; comparison shopping for them and issuing a refund if they didn’t get the best price; and letting them scan for discounts while shopping.
