Yep,  and I can’t help but think of the movie “The Stepford Wives”.

Whenever you send out an email, it is scanned and mined for data.  If you happen to mention how you used to have some antique plates, you can bet you will start seeing advertisements for it popping up.  That is not coincidental; it is a strategy to bombard you with targeted commercials.

We also use our iPhones or scanner at grocery stores or Sams club to make purchases now and the store sends you personalized coupons according to your purchase history. It will be so easy for the AC.

Remember that the technology is not “inherently bad.” It is bad when in the hands of evil people. Granted, nowadays that would qualify as those running these systems. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water... I have no doubt such technology and more will be around during the millennium too, but under a different ruling person = Christ! That said, I choose not to get an Alexa, but am not unaware that my iphone, computer, and tv are tracking me. I don’t worry about it since I know we are gone before the beast system comes in.

I would agree with Hev, I am not planning on being here when it converts to the use by the AC and to make a confession, I do have an Alexia along with an entire “Ring” system. My hubby is somewhat of a techy nerd, so we have a lot of the latest and greatest Apple world. Makes lots of things in my very busy world very easy, keeps track of my exercise and step routine that saves me 900 a year on insurance; Apple Pay for quick in and out! And yes, “Alexia” add popcorn  to the shopping list.... :mdrmdr: :popcorn :thankyou
