This came on the radio I'm listening too, apparently it transmitted a personnel conversation! I suspect "alexa" will be shown as another device not to trust. GET OFF THE GRID OR LIVE WITH IT!

What do people expect of these things? They are running microphones, all the time on! Smart-TVs. A European consumer protection organisation sued Samsung already one or two years ago for one of its "smart" TVs and its ability to film pics and record conversations in the living room sending them somewhere. The "sensors" of the Oculus are webcams - with added IR capability, they already have been demonstrated to be hackable. But young people get conditioned from teen years on now to believe such things are "cool". Its like with smoking - the commercial and tobacco industry knew very well that if you had not turned people into addicts already by their 18th or 20th birthday, after that the probability would drop dramatically, making non-smokers beyond that age an unattractive target audience. And so what happened, whom were they focussing on...? People are made to behave like babies, dependent and helpless if they do not have their techno gizzmos around them. Last summer I had a boy age maybe 14 or 15 pointing at my open compass and asking "What is that?"

I find this very scary and as more and more of this is sold under the banner it will help you make your life easy, really for who?
1984, The Prisoner are now a fact. Stand by for the trap to snap shut and by then it will be game over.

I put a tiny sticker on the selfie-camera of my pseudosmartphone. Free again, free again, finally free again!
