So-called smart TVs have an operating system installed that is similar to a smartphone, which hosts third-party apps. People can browse the Internet, launch apps and take photos using their remote controls.

The camera port on my computer is always covered.

A year or two ago one of the local schools passed out laptops to all the students. Unknown at the time was that the school had them all set up for school officials to watch the kids at home. The lawsuit was ugly, and it pointed out the need to cover the camera until you want to be seen.
