“..They think we are idiots....”
Evidently, a lot of folks are.
People buy those transmitters and install them every day, thinking it makes life easier, or more convenient, or whatever. But it’s also recording and storing, and monitoring.
Not worth your privacy just because it’s the latest fad.
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.
