Dangers of Smart Devices

Let’s talk about Big Tech and the dangers of these “smart” devices we’ve welcomed into our homes.

So, the other day, I was sitting in my bedroom, casually using my Fire TV remote to search for a movie. Simple enough, right? But as I spoke into the remote’s mic, guess what? The Amazon Echo Show—you know, the one with a camera, a screen, and a #motion sensor—clear across the house, answered me. That’s right. Not the main Alexa (which has been unplugged 🔌), but this slick little device that’s meant to be “cute” and convenient. Well, convenience be damned—I’m unplugging it too!

And here’s where the story gets even more shady. Amazon.com just #announced they’re going to start keeping and storing all of our voice recordings 😏

But let’s not pretend like this is new. They’ve #always kept those recordings, collecting everything we say, and tracking everything we do. The only difference now is that they’ve finally #admitted it. It’s like the fire department arriving too late to save the building—after everything’s already burned down and the damage is done.

So, what are we really dealing with here?

🔍 Big Tech, especially these “#smart” devices, is evolving into something that goes far beyond just “#helping” us with everyday tasks.

These devices are #constantly listening, watching, and recording every single thing in our homes. It’s not about convenience anymore—it’s about control, surveillance, and domination.

These companies have so much #data on us, it’s #terrifying. They know what we buy, what we watch, where we go, and what we say. You think it stops at the voice command? Hell no.

And now, Amazon, Google (who just settled a $28 million dollar employee discrimination case. They reached an agreement when Google said it would pay all workers who claimed discrimination EXCEPT THE BLACK EMPLOYEES!!!!

Yes! They did that and the judge agreed to it 🤦🏾‍♀️

All the big tech players are pushing us into a reality where #privacy is no longer an option. The more we invite these “smart” gadgets into our lives, the more we’re sacrificing our basic human right to privacy.

The worst part? We’re letting them in #willingly, thinking it’s harmless, when they’re quietly turning us all into the product.

It’s time to #wakeup. These devices are collecting far more than we realize—and it’s all being stored for the benefit of big corporations that see us as nothing more than data points. The longer we stay plugged in, the more control we give away.

So, what’s the move? Is it time to #unplug for good? Or are we going to keep letting these tech giants have their way?

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
