Is big brother really out there?

This could be a repost, if so I apologise profusely.

Could this be coming to a phone near you? Be careful ordering pizza then!

Funny they had more extreme big brother activities under Bush. Don't know what those right wingers are complaining about.

Right whingers complain about anything they can. The reality is the corporate sector (including Pizza companies) are going to demand more information about consumers and consumer behaviour.

Most people would be horrified if they knew just how much information was available and how much more will become available.

Big Brother is here, it's just that Orwell, whilst highly insightful, was a little wide of the mark. It isn't the governments that wish to control our thinking and track our every move, it's the corporates.

You're right, but it goes beyond that. The corporates are rapidly taking many of the roles that were once confined to government and the day will come when government will be confined to a limited administrative role and our lives will be ordered by unelected corporates. I watched Rollerball the other day and was stunned at it's prescience.

Mmmm... he picked that governments would want to get their hands on detailed information on their citizens, he never didn't pick that the citizens would be gladly handing over that information themselves!

The Government just outsourced it through legalisation...
