In recent discussion about the invasive nature of technology into our lives, we talked about how the government is able to invade our computers, phones, TVs and other technology and listen to us when we don’t think they have a right to butt in.
There was discussion about what we can do about it. How can we keep this from happening? How can we turn off my phone? Is it enough to turn it off or must we remove the battery? And ultimately we came down to the special sleeves that theoretically block the radio waves and such. All of the discussion is lost on me.
I’m afraid I have to laugh and point to my chest and simply say, “Pacemaker”. My pacemaker radiates a connection to a unit in my home so that it is constantly being monitored when I am in range. Anyone with a brain would realize that means no matter where I go the government can trace me. I am a walking GPS for them. I don’t know if it has a microphone but I would not be surprised.
Now do conspiracy theories. It seems like just about everybody you run into now has a pacemaker or some kind of built-in technology. It could be an obvious broadcasting unit or it could be something else like an artificial knee. Do people really need all these things or are they being pushed in such away that more people fall under the observation that the government.
It’s too late for me to do anything about it. You might want to think about you.

I’ve thought the same things. Just need to do what we can I guess.
ReplyDeleteIt is frustrating how many things we have no control over or we learn the downside too late. I guess that is part of living by faith. My guardian angels have their work cut out for them.
