    Welcome to my world.

    I hate the way tech has to be sold as black boxes for consumers afraid of computers to touch them. They are blissfully unaware of the violation possibilities they bring with them for as long as the device(s) do[es] what they want, like playing music or making fart sounds at the behest of a voice command.

    I hate the way everything has to be online all the time for things to work. That goes for games as well. As the average consumer doesn't inspect packets within their home network, devices running proprietary code and algorithms are free to send and receive data and there's no proof saying they've done so. There is also no proof saying they have not but that is less likely seeing as it has happened many times before.

    People just do not care about what lies beneath. They like the convenience of something they do not actually need. They do not think about the opportunities these devices open up and they do not want to hear bad things about them either. Anything you could tell them goes in one ear and out of the other as what you are saying sounds ludicrous.

    They like their little toys and that is all they care about. Let them, it is their natural right, but if they choose not to understand the implications of what it could mean then it is not your fault if they do not listen.
