All
of this may sound alarmist and some may write it off as conspiracy
theory, but everything I've discussed this week is based on articles
you can easily find online yourself. That doesn't mean everything you
read online is true, of course, but the internet provides us with an
objectivity we didn't have available to us a few decades ago. Judge
for yourself, but the fact is, this technology is real and it is
here. My own Samsung “smart TV” has a setting I had to turn off
when I bought it, because Samsung indicated they archive recorded
data from my conversations in front of my TV for marketing purposes.
At least they are transparent about it and gave me the option to turn
it off, though if I hadn't done my reading, I might not have known.
Plus, I have no way of knowing if it really is off other than the
setting claiming it is, but thankfully my TV is in my basement away
from the rest of my home. It's not that you and I necessarily have
anything to hide, but it should bother you that someone uninvited is
potentially prying into your private conversations in your own home.
Your home is probably the last place on this earth where you still
feel comfortable being yourself and sharing your earnest views and
beliefs with your family. In this volatile, over-reactive,
hyper-sensitive, politically correct society, we've already lost a
lot of ground for our freedom of speech. Let's not give it up in our
own homes, too. Alexa and Google Home, you're not welcome in my home!
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
