Haha! It's been that way for decades!
Why do you think there is one of these 
inside of every home smoke detector with a label that reads, "Do Not Open" ? It's a microphone!

Amazon is the natural, end result of pure capitalism...............
Skynet is EVERYWHERE!
Video game systems also.
Talk about a short stack!
It is the very definition of extreme naivety for anyone to trust a system that can send signals from one’s house to some place (or more appropriately, places) where those signals are interpreted.
And given the demonstrated sleaze of Google and Amazon, one is asking for trouble.
And as soon as you walk down the street you are captured on a camera. Almost everywhere.
Why anyone would agree to have one in their home confounds me.
1984 and Fahrenheit 411, unabridged, should be required reading for every high schooler in America. Most people under 40, have no clue about the dangers of totalitarianism, nor any sense of history. My husband and I watched a History Channel program on YouTube last night, about the Blackwatch Soldiers of Canada during WW2, with tears streaming down our faces, as 90 year old veterans told of their pride in and devotion to their fellow troops and their country in their efforts that helped win the war. I seriously doubt that more than a handful of people under 40 have ever watched this, or any other example of what men and women have done to fight against tyranny in that war, or others. A few may have seen Saving Private Ryan, or perhaps Schindler’s list, but not enough to have raised their collective consciousness about history.
Another reason why I do not live in a city.
Thank you, John Lovitz.
The human that made the error was the human that purchased and installed the Alexa in their home in the first place.
Someone gave us one for xmas last year, it’s still in the box.
No surprise, but wouldn’t it be more fun if there was a video camera, too?
Eating away at the usual notion of privacy, here voluntarily forfeited.
#9 I do pc and phone support. The carriers can remote into your phone and you will not know it. We have to put software on the devices and ask to log in but the carriers already have it installed. I bet they have many photos of ears : )
When I get a new laptop the first thing i do is tape over the camera.
And as soon as you walk down the street you are captured on a camera. Almost everywhere.

But I ain’t nekked when I walk down the street. I did construction on schools and government type places for many years. I always told the guys....act like I camera is watching your every move .....because it may well be.
Ah, so was Schrödinger's cat (it could be alive!).
In my book, this also includes "The Cloud". Your stuff on someone else's computer storage. As someone who works at a Fortune 100 tech company, I have railed against if for many, many years. Friends and family don't listen and gladly store their personal photos there. "It's a great way to backup" they say. Feh. Idjits.
........Skynet is EVERYWHERE.....
Then it became self aware.
To be sure, your boss is spying on you. Check that clock on the wall or your stapler.

When history is not taught, or when it is re-written and white-washed to make the villains look like heroes, this is what you get.
