Understanding Our Smart Devices
Its switched off. I am still staring at Alexa. She is part of family.
I always heard conspiracy theories that we were being tracked!
My cousin sent me screenshots how to opt out of personal data tracking on LinkedIn, Facebook and Chrome.
There has been conspiracy theories on Employers tracking the workers time spending data. How many times did they go to washroom, which sites did they visit, how many cigarette breaks etc. There are many DEX software mushrooming these days.
That was intruding at best. It was harmless.
But Pagers and Walkie Talkies going off in your face as controlled devices!
That’s not harmless anymore.
An influencer tells on a podcast that Alexa devices can still be active as they can feed off each other. They don’t need an active internet connection. How stupid. “They listen to all you say”. Is it a trojan horse? I usually laugh at these “whatsapp university” type stories.
But this time I stare at Alexa. And then at my mobile phone.
