Ooh Look Ma, Big Brother's Got A New Computer.
Brian Hughes comments on my recent post about privacy:
Do you really think "the Government" has got nothing better to do than keep an eye on boring old farts like us? And how many people d'yer think they'll need to employ for the task?
Privacy? British Lower Middle Class invention circa 1908. Bah!
Fairly near the truth; The Invention of Privacy would be a good book for someone to write. Plenty of cultures don't even have the concept, even in Europe; Turkey, for example.
But it's not "the Government" who will be keeping an eye on us. It's the Government's computers. And that's a very different thing. Even now it can be quite chilling; have a look at this and see if you like it...
