I kind of had that feeling, but smartwatches really invade your privacy quite a bit, don't they?💭
But there are companies doing things that are even more "extreme" and shocking than that😳
What's the Privacy Situation with Smartwatches?
Smartwatches are convenient, but honestly, don't you feel like your heart rate, location data, and other very personal information are being constantly monitored?🥺
When you think about how your body's condition is being recorded from the moment you wake up until you go to sleep, it can be a bit scary sometimes🌸
So I was thinking "Wow, they're watching me this much..." but what I recently learned some companies are doing is even more extreme💡
Wait, They're Going That Far? Companies' "Excessive Surveillance"
Specifically, it's not just about collecting health data like smartwatches do - there are companies trying to expose even the smallest details of your life.
For example...
- Monitoring your detailed movements and behavior patterns during work hours
- Checking your smartphone usage even during non-work hours
- Apparently some even analyze your social media and message content?😮💨
Just hearing this makes you think "Isn't this going too far?" right?🥺
It really feels like the boundaries of privacy are getting all blurry💭
Why Do They Go That Far? Some Thoughts
Companies probably aim for "efficiency improvement" and "early problem detection," but if they're taking away individual freedom and peace of mind, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?✨
As a new working adult myself, I'm struggling to learn company rules and manners, but when I hear about these things, I can't help but think "This just doesn't feel right~"🥺
Summary: The Feeling of Being Watched is Kind of Scary, Right?
While the health monitoring aspect of smartwatches is somewhat acceptable, I still think it's excessive when companies go even further to monitor various aspects of your life💡
I hope everyone occasionally thinks about "How much am I really being watched?" too~
It made me realize I need to value my privacy a bit more🥺
It's a bit scary, but it's important to know about these things, right?❣️

Kohler's latest smart camera attaches to the toilet and analyzes your stool to check intestinal health, apparently.

This will definitely be sold to insurance companies and used for health checks, treatment denials, and premium increases.
ノーラン
Kohler, seriously, they're getting into everything you've got.

IoT has finally hit a wall and jumped on the crappy poop-related technology.
ベン
This is literally the Adult Swim smart pipe joke, for real.
サム
Ugh, this is the worst.
サラ
I hate the feeling of my poop being watched.
クリス
I thought it was a sensor for companies to monitor toilet time.
エマ
Kohron? What's that?
ロバート
Bro, apparently Chinese emperors used to do this back in the day. Maybe aliens are collecting samples from the rulers?
ベン
I thought smart toilets were a Simpson's joke, can't believe they exist in real life!
ジョージ
Might have less privacy invasion than smartphones though...

What a shitty story.

This is the Adult Swim smart pipe joke.
