The Departure Of Old-School TVs And The Arrival Of Modern TVs: Who's Watching You Watch?
February 9, 2015 | Patriot777

Posted on 02/09/2015 7:15:37 AM PST by Patriot777

Not too long ago I engaged in a conversation with my spouse about how I learned, quite a long time ago, that a great many television sets--possibly all of them, that are not CRTs but are now the projection, HDs, flat-screen, 3D, curved-screen, Smart Screen, and all the others--have cameras installed in them that are being used to record everything we say and do. And, such information is disseminated to... Since I'm kinda down with a fair bit of pain today, this would be a good topic for me to research, to find out just what TVs have this feature and if so, how to disable it. I'm sure that you, my fellow Freepers, will jump ahead of me and take this puppy on before I even finish my second cup of coffee. God bless you! :-)

It sort of depends where I place the phone. Sometimes it’s charging face down.

Paranoid twits like the “Paranoid” Rob Lowe DirecTV commercial.

I’m pretty much ready to ditch TV, cell phone, computer. I don’t need TV—I’ve got a radio, a CB and a scanner. I don’t need a smartphone (is there a cell phone I can get that I can just use for emergency calls, that can’t be tracked? I really need a travel phone). I don’t need a computer—I did fine without one for oh-so-many years, paid bills via snail-mail, wrote letters, all the stuff that computers just made things more convenient to do, faster, etc. If I do keep the thing, I’ll just use it to create greeting cards, do home-office work (Adobe, etc.)—no internet.
Like I said, I’ll have my radio, CB, scanner, the ‘e-phone’, and the PC for home-office and creative dithering.
BB might—and they’ll probably have—gov’t techs going to every home in the U.S. forcefully installing the telescreens, but that does not mean we have to watch. It will be like anything on TV we do not want to watch—simply don’t watch it. Go in another room and read a book, play a game with your kids, learn a hobby, take a walk in the sunshine.

When someone is reduced to drilling holes in cheese wheels, it’s not only to find those hidden mics, it’s to create white noise!

right but can the TV listen to what you are talking about in the rooms around it?

How many of us complain about something the government is doing today? Day after day?

oops gotta go I hear the jack booted thugs at the door.

Guess we’re all going to have to start talking code.
