Privacy is becoming a thing of the past.

Anyone who installs any of these “SMART” devices, is a fool...

What a surprise. The so-called social media sites specialize in data mining and advertising of its users. Oh, and I forgot. They are propaganda sites for the Democrats also.

Nobody I know comes to my front door. I never got out it.

My friends come via the side door.

They’ll have a great record of door to door salesmen and missionaries.

I just cannot see the need to fill one’s home with all these marginal “smart” devices.

I mean how useful is it to have to shout, “Hey Alexa, turn on the light”? I guess if your 95 years old and your Clapper is broken, sure. But why do people willingly put stuff that collects your conversations and personal data in their homes?

I guess I should add Facebook to that equation too.

We installed the Ring doorbell. I have 1 of my barn cats that is fascinated by. 99% of my alerts are from her walking along the brick ledge up to camera and nuzzling it. Then she turns and walks away

As to the question of whether I need this at my home, we live on a county road and there’s no reason anyone should becoming around my house other than the mailman, UPS or FedEx. So I guess if they wander up to my place, I have a record to give to police should they decide to do something.

How funny that my door bell or metallic knocker, do NOT broadcast my private matters to others.

Such as your 8 year old daughter getting spam calls from strange creeps.
