We are not always being watched more like listened to. Samsung has come out with a new t.v that you can talk into. So there is no need for a remote, but what most people don't know is that whenever you talk it is recorded. For most people this is a surprise, but it shouldn't be. In fact all if not most smartphones already do this. When ever you make a video call or just a regular call someone or a third party could be listening to you. Even our emails and Facebook what ever we type is being or could be recorded. And its not just by hackers a third party, but the government!

Is this surprising to you or did you already know this?
If you didn't already know this are you going to change anything or what you do on your phones?

Good summary but you didn't reply to any student comments.
I already heard something on the radio about this t.v. They said you can go into the options and turn off this feature because it was being used to "improve the product." I won't change anything I do. I just don't do anything that would get me in trouble on my phone or any of my electronic devices.
Yes it's surprising, I think it is stupid that they would spy on your phones and emails and stuff, that is not their business. No I'm not going to change anything that i do on my phone or computer, you can't just live your life in fear of being spied on, so as long as you are a terrorist, you don't need to worry.
This is not surprising to me, because I already knew this due to a presentation we did in CWI about the NSA.
I already knew this, but its a risk people are willing to take. We are at a time where anything and everything we do will not be private anymore. Especially with technology.
I figured that this was probably already happening, but I don't think that it's right. Listening in to people's conversations is a violation of a person's privacy. I think that people just need to be more careful with what they do on the internet if they are worried about it being tapped into. Like I said before, I don't think that this is right, but there is really nothing we can do about it and I think it's just something we need to accept with the changing times.
I guess it is kind of a surprise because it din't really know that, but it isn't really much of a surprise because I could have guessed that. Just about anything is possible now days.
I did know somewhat about this. This is sorta good and bad because sometimes watching over everyone prevents harmful incidents and its also bad because you feel very violated with knowing someone else is in your business. It definitely changes what most people do on your phones.
I think that people have a general idea that whatever they do on the internet is recorded, but sometimes we forget it. Some people complain that the government is to nosy in our business, but they forget that they only do this to protect them and the country. Police have been able to prevent many accidents or murders take place by tracking everyone's information/ what they say on the internet.
This is normal! I think that everyone should know that our world is coming to this and it has been for the last 10 years! Knowing me and our generation, it won't change anything because I think we all know it ... But just maybe choose to ignore the fact.
