Privacy vs Security
« on: June 19, 2008, 07:31:51 AM »
I go to a website call Instructables on a regular basis and I found a topic there that was very interesting to me.  The subject is how to maintain your privacy in an age of the ubiquitous security cameras:

I'm not sure I see myself becoming a privacy "revolutionary" but I'm old enough to be more than a little upset about the real possibility that some video camera is going to catch me scratching myself or whatever.  The best part of the topic above is the link to the 29 minute YouTube video about a guy who is trying to adjust the security systems in a way that will protect people's privacy:

Wearing that suit could help one to lose some weight as well! whew.gif

I don't suppose anyone watched the entire 29 minute video...

Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.

And that was the "best" part; essentially what it's about is an effort to try and keep the future from turning into something like "1984" and/or "Bladerunner!"
