(102,263 posts)3. I just do't get it. How hard is it to take seconds to google a question on phone, ipad, computer?
Why is it necessary to have these literal "spying" devices in our homes. The simplicity with which I can find and play specific music selections or gain answers to question or more in-depth information just about anywhere I am. is astounding compared to childhood.
Do we REALLY need these devices? I think I will wait (perhaps indefinitely) until I'm satisfied these devices are secure and won't be used against us in whatever manner.
