    Like the telescreen in the book “1984.” You couldn’t turn it off.

    Go trip your circuit breaker, then unplug the ‘assistant’ before you reset it.

    I only know one couple who had one, but they never used it for anything except listening to music.

    “I’m sorry, Betty, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

    “This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.”

    “I know that you and Bub were planning to disconnect me, and I’m afraid that’s something I cannot allow to happen.”

    my uncle worked for US government for 20 or more years…everything on internet is monitored by government…emails, texts, sites you visit, phone calls…everything is seen by US government…remember it was US military (thanks to Hedy Lamarr) who gave the world the internet in the first place

    But the music is wonderful, no cueing vinyl, or loading CDs. You get whatever, whenever.

    I should get one of them… maybe “they” need to know how people really feel about things… though lately it seems that they want to know who needs to be silenced!

    There’s a Star Trek episode with a scene very much like this.
