I'm going to try and keep this fairly short, because i could go into this for hours and hours likely.
Basically I've spotted something that i find a little bit disturbing about both the Xbox One and the PS4. They both (well at least one of them) seem to be adding cameras to their consoles (not built in obviously) but they seem like they may be necessary to actually use the console. Which i find just a little bit strange, i can understand that things move on and technology moves on, but what happened to the cameras being an accessory? Something you don't have to use if you don't want to?
Now both Sony and Microsoft, at the same time, are almost making it compulsory to have a camera. (I can't say for sure about PS4 because it's yet to be revealed properly)
With the Xbox one, not only is it a necessary thing, the console itself seems to "require" an internet connection & it's been said that it needs to be connected to the internet at least once a day... WHY? Can we not just get updates as and when we need them? Why once a day? Not only that, but i've read that the camera doesn't actually go off, it's in a "standby" state waiting a command... I'm sure!
I'm not one of those people who think that absolutely everything is a conspiracy, i don't think reptiles are taking over the planet, but i do my research into things that really happen in the world and i know that it's a dark place.
Has nobody else noticed that nowadays nearly EVERYONE is on Facebook or Twitter? All advertising their daily doings, their likes, dislikes, information is put on these sites either without realising or because it is necessary that people can gather about you and build a profile. Nowadays if the government want to find something out (or police), they'll probably look for you online first, see if they can build up a picture.
I find it funny just how many people have fallen into the trap of airing all their business to the world. All because most people are sheep.
You may be thinking "yeah but you have twitter" or "rich coming from someone who blogs" but i think you'll find I'm very careful about what i let people know about my private life. Funnily enough I have nothing to hide, i don't do drugs, i barely ever drink, i don't do anything illegal to my knowledge. But i still don't like the idea of people knowing more than i want/need them to know about me.
Now, with the mandatory cameras with the new consoles and at least for the Xbox, the mandatory internet connection, oh and just as i type that another thought about the PS4, a mode where you don't turn the console off and it "gets updates" while you're not using it... that just screams to me that someone wants the majority of households to have cameras, what is stopping Microsoft, Sony or whoever they're in league with from tapping into the cameras on our consoles, especially since they're aiming at our consoles being constantly connecting to the net...
I know I'm going to get called all sorts and people are going to think I'm just another conspiracy theorist, but just think about it for a little while, stop thinking stuff like that is impossible or stupid and just think about it... it's quite a creepy prospect.
