Smile! Your private life might be streaming live on the Internet!

Whether we realize it or not, we carry around the means by which strangers can secretly record us. Nearly all mobile devices today have multiple cameras and a microphone. Think about all the places you take your phone or tablet, then ask yourself how you'd feel if those cameras were activated without your permission.

It's not just your devices, but those of the people around you, as well. Chances are, you've had a phone or tablet nearby during a private conversation with a lawyer, a doctor, a friend. What if someone else was watching and listening through that device?
