'Smart TVs' are connected to the Internet, and they are capable of collecting and transmitting our data. Samsung's Smart TV uses voice recognition technology to enable voice commands, but its privacy policy defined by the company says "if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be captured and transmitted to a third party."
In other words, Samsung's Voice Recognition feature is always listening you, unless you deactivate it. So these internet-enabled smart devices can be exploited to reveal a wealth of personal.
"In addition, Samsung may collect and your device may capture voice commands and associated texts so that we can provide you with Voice Recognition features and evaluate and improve the features." Samsung Smart TV privacy policy says.

According to a press release from Paxton’s office, the five corporations being sued are Sony, Samsung, and LG, as well as China-based companies Hisense and TCL Technology Group Corporation.

Announcing the decision earlier this year to stop delivering letters, PostNord, formed in 2009 in a merger of the Swedish and Danish postal services, said it would cut 1,500 jobs in Denmark and remove 1,500 red postboxes amid the “increasing digitalisation” of Danish society.
Describing Denmark as “one of the most digitalised countries in the world”, the company said the demand for letters had “fallen drastically” while online shopping continued to increase, prompting the decision to instead focus on parcels.
Simple question - does this look like a hallmark of the end of civilized communication to you? It does to me. And besides, what happens to sending out Christ,as and Happy Birthday cards? Buncha friggin' Grinchs if ya ask me.
