Caution: Your intelligent television could hear what you say – Aleteia

-> The controversy arose when someone took the time to read the fine print on the privacy policy of the line smart TV (Smart TV’s) company Samsung. In a paragraph of the policy reads as follows:

“Please be aware That if your spoken words include staff or other sensitive information, That information will be Among the data captured and Transmitted to a third party though your use of Voice Recognition “
” Please note that if your conversations include personal information or other sensitive information, that information will be part of the data captured and transmitted to a third party through use of speech recognition “

In short, what is hearing your TV, your TV knows their secrets and will ! to share is a surprise One person wrote a comment on a news site. “I’m paranoid, I can give an ax to my TV” and someone else said: “No, sure I cost you much money, do not do”.

Samsung has come to clarify the situation by saying that the problem was writing, someone did not know how to write the policy, so they say. Whether it was intentional as if it was a mistake composition, the reality is that every day we lose privacy and freedom.
As progress continues on the ability of communication and interaction with various electronic devices, it is this closer every day to reach the utopia of turning them into “living beings” able not only to fulfill a service, but to be “friends” our. From the home phone was passed to the handset, which served us first to speak, before we talked with him. The step of performing basic functions of office to be his own world.

computer and so on, all kinds of electronic device has undergone a quantum change in a couple of decades. The news is deeper than the simple fact that if a TV may or may not listen to your private conversations in the safety of your home. No: the question is, how far can we go? Or rather, how far relent?
Both large and small technology companies live in a fierce fight to be first in everything, in every moment looking for better ways to serve the consumer offering all kinds of advances for greater customer convenience, or so it seems.

The remote emerged as an accessory for comfort, avoiding the viewer moving his favorite chair to change channels, having to stop eat to increase volume. As time went acquired other functions, but all the amenities and service viewer. Today, the cell is a device to make and receive calls: for many people it is life itself, would leave home without wallet before leaving the cell, living his life through the TV screen and occasionally , use it to talk on the phone

The remote control as cell and many other devices have been limiting us in our actions, we have been enslaving “them”. what is offered as a free choice has become the only option to live. The television hear your conversation is not as worrisome as the fact why the TV would listen.

They have given so much power our devices is a symptom of social laziness, which we prefer to make a comment of support for a just cause in a website before you go out and actually do something about it. It is ironic that someone has thousands of online friends without having to go out with a walk, one to go for a coffee.
And with all this, the general reaction was amazement over concern at the prospect of such a serious transgression of privacy. The only concern that many people seem to have is to find an internet connection to connect to the network since before connecting with others, prefer to connect to their devices. Apparently they do hear them
