Things have minds of their own

And they should come with informative labels. At least when there is an Internet of Things, the things should have tags.

For instance: "Spoon. Globetrotter. Will disappear if not kept an eye on." Or, "Knife. Impulsive. Will take its own course even if user is careful." And "Socks. Flitter. Will be found with partner other than own." (Though that's all moralistic and judgmental. But they do that. All the time.)
