There's a difference between PRIVACY and realism. Going into public implies you get seen by people, and are in the "public" eye. So, you can't go the streets naked without people seeing your wanker.
On the other hand, you shouldn't be followed by cameras and analyzed for marketing purposes. (this kind of applies more to the internet, right now..but it's moving in that direction everywhere anyway)
right, but the reason my statement was wrong was because the people i'm referring to have access to the technology which allows them to be "fit". in other words, if these objects (i used guns in the reference) were taken away, i don't believe they would be "better fit" for their surroundings. because to be honest, i think they'd fall flat on their face.
So we're supposed to be scared into staying in our houses? What other society has EVER promoted the idea of staying indoors, because you have to, or you'll lose all your privacy?
I completely agree... on the other hand, I don't think corporations are at fault. They are huge machines, basically, and the only way to truly stop them is through government and laws. So, change our governments - make them fight for what they once stood for - as opposed to our now imperialistic, tyrannic nation.
and a side note, you mentioned how drug/alcohol use was at an all-time high. These things free you from control, look at all the past/present independent artists. It's very hard to control people on drugs or alcohol. Unless you can control those things, also. See, our government has gotten very good at this -- they're not stupid, and they'd like to be the only ones. And with exception to the very few (possibly here, and those feeling alone in their basements writing music, poems, art, etc. that have no way to get their ideas out).
The more the government can see through our windows, the more they block the view of the people who can really be affected by these artists and new thinkers.
Why haven't we had any moving music, movies, writing? It's all controlled, and we're all too damn lazy to realize this internet is free and independent. It's one of our last hopes, and they're already on their way to controlling that.

yeah yeah yeah, that's what they WANT you to think!
;)
haha
that would imply we have a lot of pride. oh wait, i apologize. we have an absurd amount of pride, and completely displaced.
anything independent with an original voice is good in my book.

I don't think I agree...
survival of the fittest, darwinism, and the stupid people have all the guns.
