#17 netwolf, security is yet another matter. And mentioning Amazon's devices like Echo is necessary, yes. When their Alexa with camera and display was first reviewed on wallstreetjournal they reported that if you covered the camera with a Postit the device turned itself off and there was no setting to disable turn-off.
Meaning: Amazon's developers didn't even remotely think of the privacy concerns they need to be aware of and build their hard- and software accordingly. That's typical for the bunch of irresponsible people who are already occupying our lives with devices and software.
And that device was launched in 2017.. After the privacy scandals around NSA, Snowden, Facebook and Android (and more, if your professional horizon reaches further than mainstream news).
And regarding health concerns, as I already said, mobile devices have not been scrutinized deeply enough. Because of the same disinformation tactics we already know from BigTobacco and BigOil.
