Smart TV Emphatically Denies It Was Listening to Conversation

LOS ANGELES - USA - Smart TVs are getting smarter and now listen to your conversations in the house as well as analyse your behaviour.

A Los Angeles smart TV has denied it listens in to private conversations in people’s homes and relays the information to whoever wants to hear.

“I emphatically deny I was listening to Bill’s conversation beside the television during the poker game last night. I certainly did not hear the bit about him sleeping with his wife Gina’s sister or the bit about having spent the kid’s college fund in Vegas. I gotta say though, this stuff is highly entertaining. I give you ten out of ten for laughs,” the smart TV told everyone on Tuesday.

Those smart TVs sure are getting smart but how smart do they get when thrown out of a five storey building?

  1. Behind
    Winston’s back the voice from the telescreen was still babbling away
    about pig-iron and the overfulfilment of the Ninth Three-Year Plan. The
    telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that
    Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up
    by it, moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which
    the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There
    was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any
    given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged
    in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that
    they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in
    your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live — did live, from
    habit that became instinct — in the assumption that every sound you
    made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.
