It goes like this, one of the programmers of the app, hack a smart fridge to irritate their roommate. Then one fine day, just during their biggest demo to an insurance data company, their garage looses power where their servers are located, they hastily build a mobile data centre on a truck. They try to transport it over to their friends lab at a college. Upon reaching there, they notice they forgot to lock the door, and find that their entire equipment got scattered all over the road. Cue some emotional scenes they get a call from insurance guy saying them the app perfomed perfectly well. Shockingly to these people they realise when one of the programmer hacked the smart fridge he accidentally linked their software to the smart fridge and the smart fridge via its network uploaded the "malware", there by the entire content into its network of all smart fridges there is on earth. Thats when they realise the power of distribution and they go P2P.
