Paranoia!

[APACHEFIRE]

i was just thinking about what i heard on TV not too long ago. about how there is a way others can see you through your computer without you knowing! that got me to thinking about TV screens.

ok, fess up! how many of you have felt like you were being watched by your TV? i dont care if i come across as paranoid, i wont undress in front of the TV or computer screens! (just in case) *laughing*

[Asmajol]

Sometimes i feel like im bein watched but its not by tv or computer
When i have to turn light off in basement, the feeling is so strong i run up the steps yelping

I've never worried about televisions. As far as computers go, if I had an external webcam, I might think about it, but since my webcam is integrated, and my laptop is always closed if I'm not on it, it doesn't concern me.

I do have a portrait painting that I swear used to watch me - to the point where I was conscious of undressing or doing anything in front of it. It's been on my wall a couple of years now, though, and I've grown inured to it.

Then again, as I'm typing this, I can feel its dark, moody eyes staring at the back of my head!

Darn! There goes my cover!!! ApacheFire, you mind your own business and read other books!!!

Asmajol, 2lineCarrandMorgan, caity: you go about like nothings going on and don't worry about anything.

[steelemagnolia63]

ofcourse they are watching you through you TV and your laptop, and the little cameras hidden in you light fixtures... It's 1984, George Orwell was right.....

I have never thought that my TV or computer were watching me, but the creepy neighbor across the street... yeah....

[Asmajol]

: @ all replys

Have you ever as a guest had to sleep in a room with a creepy doll? Man they be fah-reekn me out sumtymes.

As far as "the larger sibling" watchn google can see ur house and that is free and public. Take it the same as a tapped call, get obscure and absurd for any1 monitering. Make it entertaining lol

Modern bills are scanable for ur financial monitoring. Dont even get me started on bank accounts.
Cameras on freeways and some neighborhoods.
Does it make u feel safe?

[MNsitting]

[2lineCarrandMorgan]

welcome lol

Now that's funny Apachefire that you mention the book "1984" 'cause I'm always telling people that it's not 1984, but "big brother" is still watching, but not in the way that you are saying.LOL I have issues when a company asks for my social security number, wait a minute that number was originally just for retirement purposes, now they can tell the last time you went to the bathroom from it, well not that bad--but dang close enough.

I don't worry about my computer or my TV. More along the lines of people and their videos, but then I don't have anything for anyone to video tape so let them.LOL What can they find out from me? I did worry about people putting up stuff like that in my home, so I was always careful when changing my cloths and stuff like that.LOL But now, not really.LOL

I don't really feel watched by my electronics. I can monitor every last in and outbound connection to my computer (I r nerd ). As for the TV, the cable company knows what I watch and when as it's 2 way digital cable, they can even change my channels on me if the really wanted to play a joke,

In terms of something in your room like a creepy picture or a doll / action figure... I remember when I was younger I had this poster of Tweak from South Park hanging on the wall with the "They're taking my underpants" quote on it, and it was on a wall facing me and in the middle of the night if something woke me up the poster was the first thing I would see and sometimes it would freak me out. Thats nothing compared to the giant Spider-man cut out my friend kept in the living room of the house we rented, basically anyone who stayed over who walked through the room at night would scream cause it looked like someone broke in and tried to hide in the corner,

[Asmajol]

Eek! Never seen a haunted action figure.
Had a giant poster of the janes addiction xxx cover. Awoke from a nightmare and the image was next to my bed!
Dealt with a possesed pull string talking peewee herman doll when i was a kid. Had to destroy it

Dats funny!
I'm not paranoid.
The way I see it , if after seeing me naked, and can stomach it, let them watch!
