They are trying to integrate social networking, Facebook and stuff, into 'smart' internet enabled t.v.'s. This is part of the internet management. Facebook has really captured people. The camera will be for Skype and stuff. There is no reason to count out the possibility that televisions have had cameras built in for a long time. It's not paranoid, it's quite reasonable to assume, in fact it's an intelligent assumption. We should never underestimate the enemy. It's only the people on t.v. (who have sold their souls and lie for a job) that would call it paranoid to be concerned with surveillance and who wants to listen to or think like them?
The new x.box, Microsoft's game console uses a device called kinect that allows for control of games by body gestures using cameras. This was an add-on for the last x-box but is now built in. You cannot use the console unless you are connected to the internet and the cameras are operating. The new Sony PlayStation console will also have cameras built in and I assume they will be used to watch people as well. It was known way back in 99 that Windows had a backdoor built into the software that could be accessed by the NSA.
Intelligence agencies dictate they way technology is used, they always have. Corporations that don't play the game cease to exist. Generally the technology available to the Gov is a few years ahead of what we are allowed to use. They (corporate media) announce new technologies years after the Gov and intelligence have been using them so we are always a few steps behind even in our perception of their abilities. It's always been that way. It's not like 'we are all in it together.'
Television and news creates a virtual world that is updated daily, that many assume to be a real world that we all share, but it is false. We should not watch news but do our own research and love truth more than conformity. They only lie, it's their job, even if they don't know it.
Soon the p.c. will be phased out except for business and people will only use tablets, smart phones, game consoles and t.v.s for all internet, entertainment, communications etc. and Without the flexibility of the p.c. the whole information flow will be completely controlled and even modified on the fly using CGI (this has been possible for at least a few years.)
We should be very careful about a 'need' to consume corporate, or even alternative news, in the future this need will be used to capture and integrate people into a false world that will be hard to escape - impossible for most.
