Summary | Amazon's new Echo device - a voice command artificial intelligence client is the perfect surveillance device when you think about it. It is equipped with sophisticated microphones that can decipher voice commands from any direction even if the TV is on. It turns on once its artificial intelligence persona Alexa is called and turns off after the order is finished. Digital corporations are increasingly developing encryption for all digital transactions because otherwise users become very vulnerable to attacks from hackers and the government.
