When people download a film from Netflix to a flatscreen, or turn on web radio, they could be alerting unwanted watchers to exactly what they are doing and where they are.
Spies will no longer have to plant bugs in your home - the rise of 'connected' gadgets controlled by apps will mean that people 'bug' their own homes, says CIA director David Petraeus.
The CIA claims it will be able to 'read' these devices via the internet - and perhaps even via radio waves from outside the home.
Everything from remote controls to clock radios can now be controlled via apps - and chip company ARM recently unveiled low-powered, cheaper chips which will be used in everything from fridges and ovens to doorbells.
The resultant chorus of 'connected' gadgets will be able to be read like a book - and even remote-controlled, according to CIA Director David Petraeus, according to a recent report by Wired's 'Danger Room' blog.
Petraeus says that web-connected gadgets will 'transform' the art of spying - allowing spies to monitor people automatically without planting bugs, breaking and entering or even donning a tuxedo to infiltrate a dinner party.

Cool, now they can watch me wander around the house in my underwear, with my dennis hanging out. The great thing about the New World Order is that it allows us to feel like we're all so important as to be worthy of being watched, 24/7. I feel like a God because of this.
Now, who wants to watch my dang-a-lang do the super scoop loopie? Get a good LOOK now ;-)
I do that same way to keep the ghosts away. Nothing want to see me burping my worm in a tank top. Works every time!!!!! Don't worry, once the common graves are ready they won't be watching us anymore. By the way: why do they see us as a threat?This site contains copyrighted material the use of which in some cases has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.
