Your cell phone can be taken over by hackers who will view through your camera and watch you enter your passwords and other information.

    It will be either law enforcement, tech employees, or corporate espionage. There's so much incentive to do it on one side of the scale. On other side, no one wants to be involved in a scandal. On the pro-spying side of the scale, maybe only a few techies need to know to pull it off. I think the scale tilts toward doing it.

    I obviously don't think it's a good thing, just that there's enough incentive to do it that it will happen.

    You mean ordinary people using the ability to spy on each other or even to spy on law enforcement? Interesting…

    "all of them connected to the television box that never shuts off and always listens" Seems I read that somewhere before.

    I will be surprised if we get to the end of the decade without a significant scandal affecting >10,000 people involving spying on computer cameras and/or microphones.
