all smart watches, smart t.v.'s, computer monitors, and smart phones are capable of being hacked. We carry little microphones and video recording devices everywhere.
One of the reasons I own almost none of these devices. I finally caved in and got a smartphone last year, but I definitely don't carry it everywhere and disable much of the functionality. (Google sends me a notification every twenty minutes that there is a critical error to be addressed. It's not an error that you can't access that data Google).
I don't understand why everyone else is so blas about this stuff. I rarely see connectivity in a device as a plus, but do you know how hard it is to find an e-reader without WiFi nowadays? Thank God our car is old enough to be dumb.
Edited by caffeine, : No reason given.
