Samsung phone: are you looking at me looking at you?

The new Samsung phone has new features, probably the most significant is that the phone’s camera is looking at your eyes and head movements and the tilt of the phone to control its actions. The phone on your lap top and cell phone are always on. The only question is whether the software running on it is currently using the images (and sounds from the microphone)

A key part of the plot of “Colossus: the Forbin project” is that the creator of Colossus and his alleged “mistress” convince Colossus to provide them with privacy so Dr Forbin and his female assistant can exchange strategy with the President of the United States without Colossus knowing. The red light on the camera goes out and they assume the camera (and Colossus) are now not watching and they have privacy. Don’t ever make that assumption. A light is only a light – it isn’t an interlock that forces the camera off.

    Privacy for so many people is only an illusion. A sledgehammer and a bucket of water is the only sure way to turn off your phone, iPod, laptop, whatever. Tens of millions will rue the day they ever posted so much of their personal life on the “beast that never sleeps”.

    Consider the phenomenon of “photon entanglement” explained here from a brief excerpt from Dr. Joseph P. Ferrell’s book, REICH OF THE BLACK SUN, “This phenomenon, briefly put, is as follows. Imagine two photons have been simultaneously emitted from a particular atom, but traveling in different directions. Thus, both photons carry the harmonic systems signature, the information, of the original atom and the circumstances of their emission. Then, imagine changing the informational signature of one of the two photons. Because the other photon is an exact analog of the first photon, it will simultaneously introduce the change into the field of its own information, instantaneously, regardless of distance.”

    Be careful of the information you allow to be transmitted into the ‘ether’.
