Topic: New talking Barbie will store your kids’ conversations in the cloud... (Read 983 times)

... But do we know who is 'our' queen...?

Turn on, tune in, drop out lol.  Funny how lines from the 60's take on stronger meanings today.  it's just the way of things.  eventually we'll just be a big bee hive of humanity... or we already are.

This is getting ridiculous.
Reminds me of "Smart TVs" which store all your conversations (apart from voice commands) on the cloud.

like gmos and all those stuff... most of the smart and educated and well to do will buy it with the right marketing strategy... remember it was possible to do the Holocaust.

Barbie: "You don't need real friends. You have me! Let's put on our new Ugg boots and watch the latest episode of Dora the Explorer starting in 5 mins. on the Cartoon Network, channel 231. Wanna share the last Nesquik chocolate milk in the fridge? Don't forget to remind mom to buy some more just incase she misses her automatic notification on her smart phone. Yeah! Isn't this fun?"

the Barbie will say to young girl : having sex for money is good, having sex without money with very important people is greater... so easy to see where they go with it... of course the parents will be away... the west is soo fucked.

Mattel has turned Barbie into Big Brother.

The iconic toy company partnered up with a techy startup, ToyTalk, to produce “Hello Barbie”: a wi-fi-enabled doll that learns to have “conversations” with children by storing their previous comments in a cloud database where she tracks their opinions and feelings.

Barbie’s conversations with her young friends are then analyzed by ToyTalk developers who can program her with appropriate responses.

She’s also a snitch. Nosy parents can have their kids’ conversations with Barbie stored on ToyTalk’s website, where they can later hop on and listen in. They can also program her to not talk about certain things with them, because your childhood should be as close to a dystopian regime as possible.

In addition to this being an all-around creepy concept, it has generated some obvious privacy concerns. Barbie’s cloud is sure to be vulnerable to hacking—a possibility parents are increasingly worried by, given past intrusions into devices like baby monitors.

According to Newsweek, one security researcher, Ken Munro, has already managed to hack into a similar doll produced by Vivid Toys in the U.K.
