1984 - Brave New World - New World Order

Perpetual warfare against indeterminate foreign "enemies" who cannot be found.
Perpetual surveillance at home and abroad.
Perpetual marketing.
Everything you do is on record somewhere.
And you must have an official form filled out to do anything.

All for your "protection", of course...

That's pretty much the way I saw it, too, fellahs. Thanks for your takes on it, too.

Uh-huh. Obvious objectives are:

1. More clandestine surveillance of the ordinary public by the government, the police, the marketers, and each other...

2. More tips to big business for how they can pester you to buy their products and take advantage of your time and your vulnerability to their sales pitch.

3. More tips to the insurance industry to help them increase your premium rates.

Gosh! I wonder who thought up this "wonderful" idea?

You'd have to be crazy to sign up to this.

But I bet it won't be too long before something like this becomes compulsory.

Total surveillance.

Oh, good grief! Did they even consider the negative implications?

Just when it seemed technology had served up enough "connected" intrusions, now they are doing it with license plates for our cars: READ ABOUT "BUMP"> Granted, so far, one has to choose to join in, but I don't like the sounds of it, at all!
