Turns out Orwell was off about the tvs that record us we can't turn off or get away from, looks like it's phones that record us we use as TV the people are addicted to and they bring it willingly and they pump them with propaganda instead of what they want but just enough dopamine rush to keep them hooked like a digital drug.
My main point is it's not the same as having a mandatory TV you can't shut of that spews propaganda mounted as a surveillance device. It's not as efficient as multiple portable and stationary devices people willing keep around and are addicted to with built-in surveillance equipment and data monitoring. Basically the same results through a means that suits our level of technology because to be fair I wouldn't expect him to predict smart phones that are mini portable wireless TV radio computers. The built-in spy camera and microphones in TV was basically applied to any electronics so he didn't go far enough for one reason or another and underestimated the potential of the carrot over the stick and saving the stick for political opponents.

No, many tv's and other devices have microphones and/or cameras in them also.
