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
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
