well i know i could go get a little camera and a mic and put it inside the box and then on video "discover" it.

i think that the technology would be more like your tv being not only a receiver but also a transmitter with instead of speakers 2- way receivers, the screen is also a big camera. in essence. not some 1950s james bond kinda crap.

as far as big brother spyin on us um yeah i do beleive they are, dont forget the days of the red scare.
