[quote=spdrun]An always-on omni-directional microphone in your home — can anyone say “creepy?” I know I can.
Yeah, yeah, sure, it only responds to the keyword and forgets everything else. Riiiight.

No, you are not alone at all. I’m always amazed by how willing people are to put spy devices in their homes and cars, and on their bodies. If it’s not connected to the internet, I can see some use for it, but the fact that all of this information can be tracked by others is beyond creepy.
They now have refrigerators that can tell you what’s in your fridge. It knows what you eat/drink, how much you eat/drink, and what quantities you have in your fridge. They’ve been working on it since the late 90s.
And I just love how they are pushing these things so that we can “connect, engage and interact with products, brands and each other…” [from Fortune link, above]. Other than forcing consumerism down our throats, what use do we have for that?
