Going along with the article I posted about the ipad becoming your TV remote, how much are applications really controlling. People live for their TV, so why not make it connect with your cell phone. There's an application through cable, which allows you’re to record a show from your cell phone. Say you forgot to hit record on DVR for a show you want to watch, don't worry now you can do it from your phone! It amazes me how much one phone can really do. There’s even a program for your cell phones that allows you to turn off and on your alarm on your house. To think 10years ago a cell phone was just used to call people from, and now its used for controlling your TV or your house alarm.
I just read another article about a program you can get on your phone call "cell control". its a Spy Software that allows you to find out who your family members, friends, partners or employees are in touch with.
• Listen to Live Calls
• Read Text messages
• SMS Logging (Incoming / Outgoing)
• GPS Tracking
• Email Logging (Incoming / Outgoing)
• Call History (Incoming / Outgoing)
• Call Duration (Incoming / Outgoing)
• Environment Listening ( Bugging Device)
• Contact Name in Address Book Linked to each call/sms
These are the things that this program can detect. Talk about invasion of privacy. Im not sure how well this really works but could you imagine someone always checking up on you. Its like the panopticism for jails. They can see everything your doing but you have no idea what they are doing or looking at. I feel like this program should be illegal. It takes away from the privacy you deserve. I think is an example of how smart mobs can be dangerous and not a good thing.
WOW!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't surprise me there is an app that does that, but it's still scary to read. Even though I'm not doing anything illegal or something my friends and family wouldn't approve of, I would still freak out if I knew they were listening or reading my messages. I agree this program should be illegal, but people will always find a way around it.
Yeah wow indeed. Even though the government probably already spies on us via our phones, jk. It seems like its almost impossible to keep anything private on the internet nowadays. From hackers to even your family members using an application to spy on you, your privacy is in jeopardy using the internet. Good find.
