Why does my laptop's camera light briefly turn on after making a phone call using Google voice? It's a simple phone call that doesn't use my camera, so why does the light flicker on briefly afterward?Does anyone else experience this?
This process is heading toward a time when your online identity corresponds directly to your personal ID. This will create a debate between at least two sides:
1. Privacy rights activists will argue that tech companies are complicit with the NSA and that we should fear totalitarianism and a police state's repression.
2. Others will argue that this verisimilitude between the online self and the material self provides for security and convenience.
On the one hand you have those that value freedom and on the other hand you have those that value convenience.
