Yep, the four Samsung LED TV's in the house all have the ability to capture voice data and transmit it back to wherever they send it. Fortunately it's easy to block if you know how, but it does come switched on by default and nobody switches it off, let alone blocks it.

I think of all those dystopian Sci Fi films where everything you do is monitored all of the time and when you look around you, almost everything you own now can be used for data collection. Your smart phone, smart tv, smart refrigerator, computer, VoIP phone etc etc.

So all those old Sci Fi films have come true and we are indeed being treated like rats in a cage.
