Do I need a smart meter on my electricity to tell computers how much electricity or gas that I personally use every single day? Do I need my heater to tell the internet what temperature my house is set at every single day? Do, I need my refrigerator to tell me whether I have enough milk or not? Do I need my toaster to talk to me and tell me ANYTHING?
My answer to all these things is an emphatic: "No!" Because as long as you have all these things your privacy just gets worse and worse until people will be monitoring your blood corpuscles as they circulate around your body to predict when you will die so maybe they can benefit from your death while you walk around in your kitchen at home? And they will do this through your toaster? or something else strange like that. So, we opted out of Smart Meters to not have to deal with this even though it cost us 10 dollars a month extra to opt out because people we knew were having strange experiences when the wireless internet signal which is a lot like a cellphone radiation wise was communicating with other houses throughout their area 24 hours a day. I mean, it's bad enough to have to deal with your WIFI and your own cell phones and smartphones throughout your home and life without having your smart meter talking to every other smart meter in your area and posting how much electricity you use each day on the Internet too. So, we didn't want any of that either, thank you very much.
The problem is a lot of this kind of stuff no one is going to ask you about, for example how they monitor everything you watch on TV through your cable box or wifi equipment. We aren't asked about that at all. Or likely whatever we watch on our smartphone or read there is also monitored and we aren't asked about that either. And who gathers that information and what do they do with it? We aren't asked about that either.
So, from my point of view all these things are just an invasion of everyone's privacy. And if you use a cable box or a smartphone or even a cell phone your location 24 hours a day is known online somewhere by someone. And do you want that?
And here's the funny one, do you know how they get the information about traffic in the U.S. that you watch on your Google maps live? It is how fast your cellphones are traveling on those highways throughout the U.S. en masse. I bet you didn't know that either.
So, what else don't we know about how we all are being tracked, what bars people go to, where they live and what their routes home are every day and what patterns some people have and other people don't and who has this information anyway, and who do they sell it to?
This is the problem for all of us ongoing in this age of the complete loss of everyone's privacy. Even Big Brother likely doesn't have privacy anymore from other countries either. So, it's a mess and getting worse regarding who knows what about you.
