No biggie, because we all leave digital footprints on our devices, but after a conversation with the husband, the very item we discussed popped-up on my Facebook page. And, no. We were not anywhere near our computers..just our phones.<br /><br />Someone...was listening. Probably Siri.

It's a thing.

However, on laptops, it IS generally recommended to cover your laptops camera eye, when you're not actively using it, because there have been cases of remote access being made of such cameras without the laptop owners knowledge and being recorded without their knowledge. A legal case in point was a couple who'd got a laptop from a certain well-known rent-to-buy company, then later learned that company's employees had access to the camera and were actively watching them. They left innocently left the laptop lid up all the time, completely unaware, and those employees were watching doing whatever in the house, dressed or not.<br />Madamdreamweaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16919566669777408584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-68426139903761746202018-07-28T12:05:42.291-06:002018-07-28T12:05:42.291-06:00I don't have a webcam and don't want one. ...I don't have a webcam and don't want one.

She says the school ( a community college) is so small, they don’t use them. I can see why schools would want to use them, but I don’t like the idea of being watched. So no online classes for me and no webcam for me.
