      I think it’s Sony that has a patent on a TV that uses a camera and microphone so they can play ads that only stop when you stand up, raise your arms and shout “McDonalds!”, for example. Not in Black Mirror, in real life.

        They do, but we have to remember that big companies like that file patents all the time for concepts they never actually use. Apple is famous for it.

      I’m not familiar with black mirror. Is this literally in the literal sense of the word by definition or literally in the oxymoronic figurative sense?

        As in that’s somewhat happening in an episode of the series where ads are being forced onto the main character, and it paused when the MC close his eye because he didn’t want to watch it.
