David Brin the Science Fiction writer who wrote the UpLift series wrote this non-fiction book on how society can chose to handle the lack of privacy advancing technology can bring.
Facial tracking software on every camera. Every ATM, gas station, subway, supermarket, and the list goes on in one seamless net. Think of all the criminals it could catch.
But who would have access?
Police Central Headquaters: Mother do I trust the government?
Instant access all the time on the Web. Psycho-stalker's delight! I wonder if my crazed ex-girl friend is still checking up on me?
This ablity to track people is comming soon. Very soon. The question is how do we as a society respond?
My high school students came up with this solution. After 48 hours everything is aviable on the web. If a crime, or something horror movie like occures a judge could rule that block from the voyeristic public view. The key point being the judge must rule something out.
Just a thought.
I was a fast 2 finger person. But now I can touch type using the Dvorak layout. I don't have the stress.
Besides qwerty was designed to SLOV a person down so the mechinical arms would not hit. Who carse about that now, but we still teach the old system as opposed to changing over to the new system.
All this is really moot as voice recognition keeps getting better and better.
