The wall screens from fahrenheit 451 or whatever was not an aggressive enough prediction.
I think both F451 and 1984 had tvs that were listening to you and recording you, right?
fahrenheit 4511984 by George Orwell.
Read the book, and read it to the hurtful ending.
Forget the movie.I read both in school they just blur together 🙃 the old fahrenheit 451 movie was actually pretty goofy but I’m a super big fan of equilibrium with Christian Bale which is basically just fahrenheit 451. I kinda hated 1984 in comparison and found Julia to be really annoying.

Amazon spent years putting microphones in our homes and apparently decided the real problem was that we occasionally leave the house. Now you can pay $75 plus $12 a month to turn every conversation into a potential shopping reminder. The future of privacy is apparently a subscription you forgot to cancel.
So now I can pay to be a target for authoritarian satellite weapons?
Happy with my pebble time 2 that does this uninterrupted for three weeks
We always used to tell the tale of that broken TV set, where your door bell rings right in the next second, and the Am*zon delivery guy already brings a new one.

Well, in Europe this could be a condition for rapists to temporarily leave jail. At the end of their sentence.
So a dev at Amazon got a DUI and thought “this really screws with my wardrobe options”
I read the article but I still don’t know what value the ‘bee’ brings.
