According to then-CIA Chief David Petraeus, our home will soon be full of internet-linked appliances that will monitor and track everything going on with them (and you), while also making them (and you) vulnerable to hacking and external control. Read all about it in here. Dishwashers, stoves, microwaves, washers, dryers, etc – they are all being equipped to wirelessly connect and make your home “Smart”.
A growing trend is also for power companies to change your old power meter on the outside of your home to a “Smart” meter that can be monitored and read via wireless technology. These meters are gaining more and more attention as health concerns are being brought to light, as well as privacy issues.
In very disturbing news, Verizon has developed a cable box that will watch and listen to everything going on in the room in an effort to target specific advertising. If you are having a discussion about buying a new sofa, for instance, a furniture commercial would come on. Click here to see the patent. The technology to watch and listen already exists in Microsoft’s X-Box Kinect system, and Google and Comcast are in on the action as well.
For a REALLY creepy eye-opener, watch this video. Newer TVs can be hacked, and the technology that makes them really “cool” can then be used against the owner.
