S.M.A.R.T.

The World around us has changed. SMART devices and technologies have become partners in our daily lives. We have SMARTMETERS in our homes which monitor our electricity usage 24/7 with 100% accuracy. The powers that be now know when you switch on your TV, computer and electric tools, they know how many domestic appliances you have and so on. What SMARTMETERS collect on top of that, we do not know. There is some theory about correlation between fires destroyed the structures in Paradise- California, Maui- Hawaii, and Lytton in British Columbia and SMARTMETERS, but that will be another story.

If our SMARTPHONES, which are basically minicomputers, have the data turned on and all applications open, our every step is being tracked and so are our thoughts. How? By tracking all of your information including phone calls, text messages, social media interaction, browsing history, purchasing records, banking transactions and travelling etc. What else? Depending on your installed apps, even heart rate, breathe and other physiological processes.

Our roads are slowly filling with the SMARTCARS, or electric cars, which slow you down if you exceed the speed limit and redirect the vehicle if you cross the centre line or take your hands off the steering wheel. Any hacker of moderate skill with access to your smart car’s computer can stop, redirect or accelerate your vehicle. This means you don’t have complete control of your vehicle which can easily be turned into a weapon against yourself or someone else.

There are plans to build SMART CITIES, where all those SMARTMETERS, SMARTPHONES and SMARTCARS will send your information to one mega computer. Every aspect of living within a SMART CITY’S boundaries; what you buy, where you travel , what events you attend, the amount of energy you use, your health care choices and the people you spend time with will all be monitored and eventually controlled.

Studies show that SMARTDEVICES release electromagnetic radiation which interrupt electrical frequencies within the human body. This has a particularly negative effect on the brain and nervous system and the heart and cardio vascular system which emit electrical impulses to function.

So, what does S.M.A.R.T. really mean?   S- Surveillance

M- Monitoring

A- Analysis

R- Reporting

T- Technology

What does S.M.A.R.T. mean in military terms?   S- Secret

M- Militarized

A- Arm

R- Residential

T- Technologies

In the words of Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum: “We must develop a comprehensive and globally shared view of how technology is affecting our lives and reshaping our economic, social, cultural, and human environments. There has never been a time of greater promise or greater peril.”

Think about that before you buy your new SMART- device or download your new app.
