“24/7/365 - All surveillance, all the time.”
My wife, whose computer skills, are reading 1.5 Kindles per day and cleaning out the herds of emails and phone messages to her brought up a great question while we were getting ready for our evening meal and our 2 hours of tv watching.
I turn on our 10 year old Amazon tv to find something Brit to watch or one of the few American Shows like a NCIS rerun to watch.
First I go to Prime and use their section naming me to find something new or a rerun to watch.
She wondered how our old tv knows that I am asking for help re what to watch.
If she asks for music in the afternoon, our tv addresses her.
I have my own kindle section, which I sometimes use in the pm and read/view the kindle on my Chromebook.
My wife has her own speed reading Kindle section and 3 Kindles to read.
Maybe we're not physically connected yet, but we are all still connected. When agreeing to the terms of service for all the devices and apps we use, it is giving access to pretty much everything we do electronically - to various entities. The technology exists to do this, and has probably been in use for longer than we realize.
In a strictly technical sense, we have been informed and have given permission.
More than a little unsettling.
