into the regular household trash?

How long did it take you to consume that item?

How long was it in your home before you threw

it away?

The idea that we would be at the point where

everyone will be watching every move.

And it would be tied into the television,

so we would have personalized advertising.

We would have HMO's for example, your health

insurer keeping tabs

on you know, who's eating Hagen-Dazs and

how much green leafy

vegetables is this family consuming because

they're literally

monitoring what happens in in your house through

your refrigerator.

You know some would say it opens up great

opportunities to improve

public health other people would say well

it opens up super

horrifying opportunities for Big Brother to

be right there in

your refrigerator and sitting at your dinner

table with you.

With rising technology and with the motivating

forces from the government level to push

that technology in the direction of the capability

of monitoring human activity, with that

technology emerging it's very frightening

because it means that totalitarian regimes

will

very soon indeed have the power to control

and monitor every human being on the planet.

People working in major office buildings have

an access

pass, a badge that they use to get into the

office.

Every time you scan that to get into the building

you're

revealing what time you got there what time

you left.

Those records have actually been used by employers

to determine whether

someone was claiming sick leave when they

weren't really sick.

The reasons for surveillance and the need

for

better surveillance systems are compelling.

If you want to keep track of your pets or

children, livestock

or possessions you can now put ID tracking

devices on them.

If you want to make sure employees are working

the way they should you can now monitor them.

If you want to protect citizens from thieves,

con artists,

drug dealers, hate mongers, paedophiles, terrorist

and basically anyone and everyone who's a

threat to

society you can now track monitor and scrutinize

them.

If you can save lives and protect property

why wouldn't you?

And if you yourself are engaged in unsocial

or illegal

actions your rights to privacy should be taken

away.

Those are compelling arguments but is it right?

And are only the bad guys being watched Hey

honey what's up?

Was that tonight?

Oh...

Well we need to be there.

Yeah.

I'll try and get home early.

Alright, I love you.

Bye, bye.

Whenever people say: If you aren't doing anything

wrong why do you care if people watch you,

I kind

of turn that around and say if I'm not doing

anything

wrong then you have no business watching me.
