Yes, Virginia, the matrix is real.

Lars Daniel’s podcast on the internet of things awakened me to the enormity of the iceberg we’ve already hit. Even in our bathrooms and bedrooms, on the street, and in the store, our Apple watches, Roomba’s, Alexis, automobiles, medical wearables and insertables, baby monitors, televisions, smart appliances, phones and computers, are continuously gathering massive amounts of permanent and retrievable data on all of us all of the time. Daniel shows how he has creatively used this data in all sorts of civil and criminal cases. He can determine precise GPS locations even when the phone is not in use. He can tell a lot about what a trucker or a doctor might be doing at an exact moment from their heart-monitoring data. Facial recognition, used extensively in other countries to monitor public areas and classrooms and even to assess and record mood, creates permanent, searchable, files. Lawyers need to know that traditional evidence is now a tiny fraction of what might be found in digital databanks. It has to be every lawyers’ duty always to consider the possibility of accessible digital evidence. Yikes! https://www.lexvid.com/cle/consumer-electronics-and-the-iot-digital-evidence
