More like it is an app.
They’re literally listening to the sounds in your office, kitchen, living room and bedroom.
A new class of smartphone app has emerged that uses the microphone built into your phone as a covert listening device — a “bug,” in common parlance.
But according to app makers, it’s not a bug. It’s a feature!
The apps use ambient sounds to figure out what you’re paying attention to. It’s the next best thing to reading your mind.
So I guess this is where it is all coming from.
The apps are Color, Shopkick and IntoNow, all of which activate the microphones in users’ iPhone or Android devices in order to gather contextual information that provides some benefit to the user.
(only shopkick still has a website, i see)
It started off as an app on your mobile phone and then got apped again to your living environment, your work place, the cinema, the airplane etc.
The apps would listen to ambient noise and get information from them about you. Â The importance of this is “speak thinking” comes under the criteria of ambient noise. Â You think so you silent speak. Â It is reflected in your breathing. Â It is reflected in the sound of your thoracic cavity. Â But from my penny observations information like this is not obtained directly by just listening in to your breathing. Â Vibrations has to projected into the air to translate your body sounds, your breathing etc. Â You must remember that if an app of this sort has been around for a while then the algorithms would floating around too in the cyber world, passed on shared etc.
But the thing here is that the same principles has been applied to the living environment for quiet, invisible, snooping. Â This will be stalking with a difference, enhanced by the use mobile applications, gps locating devices, switching on your mobile phone and listening in to ambient sounds and then networking.
This is an example. Â I had a fan without the wings taken off and spinning. Thinking jack and jill with the fan close by. Â See what you think of the modulation.
So the next time you brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush or go to a dentist using a drill, or when having a shower, watch what you think as somebody might be listening.
By listening in on your phone, capturing “patterns,” then sending that data back to servers, marketers can determine the following:
Your gender, and the gender of people you talk to.
Your approximate age, and the ages of the people you talk to.
What time you go to bed, and what time you wake up.
What you watch on TV and listen to on the radio.
How much of your time you spend alone, and how much with others.
Whether you live in a big city or a small town.
What form of transportation you use to get to work.
The new apps are often sneakier about it. The vast majority of people who use the Color app, for example, have no idea that their microphones are being activated to gather sounds.
When you take the idea from the mobile phone and apply it to space, you have a lot more parameters to play with, such as the use of microwaves designed such to send you a subliminal and alter your thinking and you would think that the thoughts you have were your own.
What do think comes through in this recording. Â It is not so much you looking for specifics. Â Remember that a trigger to get your thinking going in the right direction would need just a feeling of sorts but just a silent word heard is sufficient. Â It is like a fade out – get the idea out in the beginning with some silent audio and then the rest fades out, but the mind is always there for you to put it all together in the end. Â It might just take an extra second or so more before the brain works it out and you start thinking according to the subliminal sent to you.

WHAT!
