Imagine walking into your living room and your TV automatically telling you the weather and your calendar for the day. If this is a future you can imagine, you’ll be pleased to hear that Google is working on a new mode for Google TV that does just that.

Right, I’m ok with the TV (or local assistant) knowing I’m in the room. But why does personal convenience have to become the panopticon, tech bros?
because they only make some money selling you convenience and they can make all the money by putting you in a panopticon.
