The watch thinks the person is in danger. Just needs some updated software.

Dude its nearly been a decade since I read the original article. The original article talks about the tech and utilizing it to map rooms in hostage situation. Similar to how heat signatures are currently used.
Obviously the speakers/microphones need to be connected to a network.

Why is it sad? Was your dad a policeman whose ghost cannot sleep until you make friends with a police officer? Are you an informant that has lost his handler and Matt Damon deleted your undercover file? Why it sad!?

Always present new technology in positive light vs., you know, echolocation could allow drones to track and hunt down humans.

Pretty sure Google phones have had accident detection for a while now. But Apple adds it to their iPhones and its the best thing ever? Cell phones have all reached a plateau and we are all waiting for the "next big thing".

Another step closer to terminators. Personally I think we all will die before we get to terminator level

This article says literally nothing about hacking into the speakers. The whole thing is just that they added a program that ignores back ground noise on to an existing method of mapping a room via echolocation, it doesn’t say anything about remotely activating random speakers to do this

I know I’m being overly pedantic, but You can’t hack a speaker or a microphone.
You can hack a computer, and oftentimes mics are hooked up to computers.
