Your Computer: The Spy You Trust

We all have some sort of computer these days, don’t we? If you don’t have a desktop computer, you may have a laptop, and if not those then a tablet or smartphone. If you don’t have any of those, perhaps you have a new smart TV or fridge or burglar alarm, which uses the Internet to transfer its signal to you. They can all be used to spy on you.

Let’s call all these Internet-enabled devices ‘smart’, because the Internet is the only difference between a phone and a smartphone, a TV and a smart TV, etc. All these smart devices can be hacked – I’m sure that you are aware of that, and if they can be hacked, they can be used to spy on you.

Now think about this. If ne’er-do-wells can take control of your device, what if the manufacturers left easy access to them for the government or the police to watch what you were doing – in essence spy on you?

These entry points are commonly referred to as ‘back-doors’.

If this is true, then the government or police can probably use your trusted computer devices to spy on you by remote control. They would be able to listen in on conversations, take pictures and even use the device’s geolocation capability to track where you are and so, also where you go.

In this way, the computer devices that we have all come to rely so heavily upon can be used far more effectively than even the most experienced secret agent. Not only that, but whereas secret agents (and even just police officers in general) are extremely costly to train, almost anyone can listen in on a conversation or watch a video and record it if it sounds as if their boss might be interested in it.

Think about the ramifications of the above.

The trusted computer, Internet, and smart devices could become – or already be – our jailers!

Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail from Barry to Gibraltar a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really”. He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of fifteen years.
His first novel, Daddy's Hobby is from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya', but his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov's Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the 'supernatural', try his books
He sums his life up thus: “Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles”.
