Microphones and cameras monitoring you now? George Orwell would be
pleased.
I love how they lull the americans into thinking this is something "GOOD"
for them..They don't see the implications in all this technology.

LATEST PHONES GIVE NEW MEANING TO 'BUSY' SIGNAL
March 13, 2003 -- "Smart" telephones may one day be able to sense when you are too busy to be interrupted and ask the caller to leave a message. Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania are working on the technology, which could be used in instant-messaging systems and office and mobile phones. Tiny microphones, cameras and sensors reveal body language, and computer software analyzes the signals to determine whether someone is too occupied to take a call.
 Pounding a computer keyboard, closed office doors, speaking to another person and the time of day are possible signals of being busy. Four people at work rated how busy they were as sensors monitored the signals. The ratings were correlated with the behaviors, and the computer program picked out the most important signs.
