Personally, I cannot see how anyone finds this very alarming. With the other releases, this was a logical next step for them. George Orwell, you had it right buddy.

i just think of the early days of telephones when they had to say "operator, operator ..connect me to xyz" and operator was able to sit in and listen..
..progress doesn't go backwards (pun intended)
now we're hearing the confirmations of little camera's in Xbox's and TV's that will monitor the viewer
it's not so unbelievable anymore, that one day someone "causes all to receive a mark on the hand or forehead, and none could buy or sell unless they had the mark"

So its more like yelling into a phone. Nothing at all to do with hacking your phone.
Just screaming noise into a stream of noise so that a public listener can say "sounds familiar, I'll listen"
Hacking your computer... Oh ffs.

a 1940's telephone sent audio.. and someone could 'listen in' through the 2014 internet a person can open their garage door and start brewing coffee as they pull in the driveway.. ..you think someone's not listening in, or doesn't have the capability to listen in? or start brewing coffee, or make your internet-connected-toaster tell you to buy catcher in the rye it's *built into* the system it always is none of this is alarming, like the other humanoid stated

It was in reference to the information on my computer!
This thread just made me think of it
What's the alternative? Get rid of the internet? The internet has been the single greatest and most advancing piece of technology we have EVER invented.

The internet has been the single greatest and most advancing piece of technology we have EVER invented. The steam and internal combustion engines, semiconductors, the wheel, cutting tools, flight, the plough, gunpowder, the printing press, mechanised clocks, paper all disagree with you.

But have any of them advanced us like the internet has? Sure some of them gave birth to the industrial revolution, but all the information of the world is available to everyone at any time. All systems are now built on it, I work for the NHS and I can arrange ambulances at the click of a button. That has been more beneficial and changing to our society than anything before it.
