“After disasters like IBM’s PC Jr and the failure of PC companies like Texas Instruments and Atari, the future of home personal computers didn’t look so good. But in 1990 a new generation of home PCs brought the business back. This program looks at the products that led to this rebirth, including the IBM PS/1, the Tandy 1000, the Magnavox Headstart, the Macintosh LC and the Mac Classic. Also includes coverage of the Commodore 64 and analysis from Dataquest. Originally broadcast in 1990.”

Each of the devices with a voice assistant has a built-in listening system; they are everywhere – in space or at home. Everything is done to make our lives more comfortable, not to write queries, but to give the command in a voice. Initial excitation related to smart devices weakens and, on the contrary, becomes annoying when we are aware that we are overheard, recorded, or our confidential data is saved. That is why, in the era of intelligent devices, it is essential to protect users against potential threats. A device that looks like a bracelet was created, with 24 small speakers emitting an ultrasonic signal in the 24-26 kHz band. The signal is strong enough to disturb the microphones in the device. However, it can be irritable to our pets. The prototype is quite large, but it will be minimized in the future to make it look more delicate.
