The Future?? My sister sends this link showing a not so preposterous software integration suite that can be used to compile and use lots of information about you. I responded with the following rant. Why do you think the grocery stores give you those shopping cards? They're doing just this sort of stuff. Walmart is putting RFID devices in all of their merchandise which will allow them to drive by your home and know what you still have left. Amazon recommends what you should read; Netflix knows what you want to watch; Tivo knows what you are watching and how many times you rewound to see Janet Jackson's nipple at the Superbowl. The airports are using imaging technology that can see through your clothes and into and through your body and will soon be performing lie detector tests on flyers. You have to take a urine test to screen for diabetes and medications before a job will hire you. It's all very scary. Part of this is technology and part of this is politics. George Bush and his cronies have done irreparable harm to our civil liberties. But hey, at least music is free nowadays. |
Some parts true. Many made-up.
Songs don't stay posted long.
