VERIZONS ORWELLIAN CABLE BOX  WITH MICROPHONE AND THERMOGRAPHIC CAMERA

GET READY FOR THE LATEST IN PRIVACY ROBBING TECHNOLOGY. VERIZONS NEW SET TOP BOX WILL LISTEN IN ON YOUR CONVERSATIONS AND ADVISE YOU ACCORDINGLY! 
It will also collect information from infrared cameras and microphones that can detect the number of people and types of conversations happening in customers’ living rooms and bed rooms. The sensors would also be able to determine if a viewer is exercising, eating, laughing, singing, or playing a musical instrument, and target ads to viewers based on their mood. It also could use sensors to determine what type of pets or inanimate objects are in the room. The system can also “dynamically adjust parental control features” if it detects that young children are present in the room. Verizon new DVR has such acute sensitivity and software capabilities that, for instance, if it detects an argument or shouting  it will  prompt ads for marriage counseling, and hears sounds of “cuddling” it will prompt ads for contraceptives. Maybe the Nazis at verizon could go one step further with their new gimmick and call in the local swat team should they detect the use of illegal substances. Or what if it hears you spanking your kid and calls the Child Abuse Hotline. The scenarios are endless. Thanks Verizon, for making us just a little more paranoid so you can rake in billions at the expense of our dignity and privacy. Tell Verizon to stick this where the sun don't shine.
