No “smart speakers” in our house, but our cell phones, tablets and PCs are busy doing the same thing.
Our new refrigerator could listen to us if I connected it to our WiFi, which I am not about to do.
My wife wants a new TV for the bedroom. I don’t think it’s possible now to get a new TV that isn’t a “smart” TV, i.e. one that watches and listens to you. Some say you can turn that stuff off, but I don’t believe it.
I’ll just have to try to disgust the watchers to death.
When the guys came to set up our Sleep Number bed they asked for the password to our wifi so they could connect the bed to the internet. Seriously? We said absolutely not!!
