Most likely they will start coming with their own cellular network capabilities built in, bypassing any need for a network connection.
They would also be able to screen capture and analyze whatever you watch, even on external devices like apple tv and inject ads directly as an overlay.
The thought just sickens me.
- feanaro 4y agoIt's seriously time to start thinking about building houses with a built-in Faraday cage.
- noodleman 4y agoOr just don't buy an idiot box. I'd argue the TV is one of the most harmful inventions of the modern age. Sitting for hours a day is the new smoking. And the ever more hyper-partisan news rots the mind. All so you can watch the latest trite bollocks Disney et al. has just put out. Lets not even get started on how they're all streaming services now. So much content yet a fraction of the quality. I got rid of my TV when I saw a man being gruesomely killed on BBC news ~2014. It was without a doubt the smartest decision I ever made.
- feanaro 4y agoYeah, but it's not just about TVs. If cellular devices become small, cheap and ubiquitous enough, I'm fully expecting these vile corporations to start inserting them in all electronics. If there's not a large enough outrage, we can expect all devices to eventually be phoning home. A Faraday cage home seems like it would be simple enough to build and fully proof you from such idiocy forever.
