While these benefits are useful, there are some downsides. In the case, you have been consistently waking up at 9 am, but for some reason you had an important assignment due Friday morning but no Friday class, you have likely slept very late. But for the sake of consistency, Wakey would wake you up at 9 am whether you went to sleep at 11 pm or 6 am. The customer would then get sick and tired of the device constantly interrupting their daily lifestyle and toss the product. Another major drawback is the sharing of personal information. In the case that a user was not okay with the sharing of their sleep history, this would be ethically and morally wrong. It would also mean that even if you were okay with your personal information being shared, hackers could then access this from the companies servers and then disrupt your life even further by triggering your alarm at inopportune times. It is particularly alarming (pun intended) that since Wakey has access to your social media information and is connected to your other home appliances, hackers could even go on to steal more important personal information without you finding out.
