I have not slept very well, so you may figure out how senseless this may be. It is like being drunk.
I have trying to figure out future using conspiracy theory as starting point, then land them into a down to Earth view.
I took the Google conspiracy as a starting point.
Then I started to think about privacy and ownership.
It is evident that we are headed towards profiling and probably no one will be anonymous anymore.
A router company may spy you, you have data mining since a lot of time ago.
China can track people, and probably any other country can do too.
Lawyers can hunt customers who share music.
Privacy seems long gone.
Then I recalled the conspiracy theory of Zeitgeist Addendum where the proposal is likely to create a world dominated by technocrats, instead of the supposedly happy world they propose. So it could mean we are headed towards a world where your computer is not yours anymore. You may be a bee in a hive. No more democracy, but technocracy.
Companies and government may know more about you, and you might not be technically capable to tackle with it.
So sending data through any net may be like talking on TV, not private like in a wired phone. Your data will go to many places, just like today. They may use any information with electronic wiretapping.
And we have cloud computing where your client becomes more of a terminal.
But what about entrepreneurs?
Are those people who let others to have a job be spied by their competitors?
I do not believe in conspiracy theories now, but it is interesting that it seems that in a way those theories are like alienating material for those who may want to protest about something that may seem imminent.
But the fact of the matter is that it may seem that in the future any data may be monitored, and your computer will not be yours anymore. Will we become another brick on the wall?
Any ideas?
