47 - IoT is data collection agency

from Minimalist Tech News Hosted by David Lara

Recently had problems with my Vizio smart TV. Customer service over the phone was able to remotely reboot my TV with only two pieces of information which was the serial number and the mac address. this is very alarming specifically because there is a lot of Internet of things being connected in our homes today. In which a lot of these devices are consistently collecting pieces of information of who you are. Drawn the connection between AI and also you as a person in your own home about the Internet devices that you are using. I want for individuals to be we form and to reconsider the ways that we’re doing in order to make life easy. Just because the Internet of things are free doesn’t mean that, you are safe and your information is private. Remember if it’s free then some along the lines your information is being provided as data points to be sold.
