Consumer applied science company ’ newfangled pet thing is to get their outstandingly well - designed talons into every aspect of our lives .

I ’m ok with this .
To an extent .
Google Home worries me because Google already has my email , search habits , and TV preferences and with Google Home it need to pose on my mantle and take heed to my every fart .
But at least it is n’t rumored to have camera with facial acknowledgement like Apple ’s skunkworks home plate helper .

It ’s great that Apple want to effortlessly acknowledge my honey of mood inflammation and a little Sleater - Kinney . It is also the stuff of ol’ George Orwell ’s nightmares .
